Jonathan
Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, responding to the Prime Minister’s comments about the
NHS being ‘better prepared for this winter’, said:
“Yet again Theresa May reveals how entirely out of touch she is. Next, she will
be trying to lecture patients that ‘nothing has changed’ for patients.
“The
reality is we see hospitals at full capacity, ambulances backed up, cancelled
operations and patients waiting for hours on trolleys.
“Instead of
burying her head in the sand, Theresa May needs to explain why she has allowed
underfunding and cuts to health and social care to continue. As Tory MP Sarah
Wollaston said this morning, the Government needs to get a grip.”
