Sunak Speech: PM asleep at the wheel 

4 Jan 2023

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to Rishi Sunak’s speech, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“People will be dismayed that Rishi Sunak still doesn’t have a proper plan to deal with the crisis raging in the NHS. He is asleep at the wheel while patients are treated in hospital corridors and the health service is stretched to breaking point.

“Families up and down the country are facing personal tragedies every day and this Conservative Government either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care.

"Ministers should have been working to tackle this crisis for months, instead they spent most of 2022 indulging in a Conservative Party psychodrama. Now the whole country is paying the price.”
