Starmer speech: Govt simply moving the goalposts
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Commenting after Keir Starmer's "Plan for Change" speech, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
“After years of Conservative chaos, the people want real change instead of a government simply moving the goalposts.
“The Liberal Democrats will hold this government’s feet to the fire on keeping its promises, most of all on fixing the NHS and care.
“It was worrying to see no clear plan in these targets to make sure people can see a GP when they need to.
“Pledging to bring down waiting lists while neglecting GP services is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
“Millions are struggling to get through to their GP or having to wait weeks for an appointment, which just piles more pressure on our hospitals while people go without the care they need.”
