The Prime Minister Is Playing Games With People's Health

Nurses going on strike is a badge of shame for this government. Instead of showing leadership, he is playing games with people's health. There is a human cost. Alex from Chester has been waiting for a gallbladder operation for nearly six months. If the strikes are wrong, he should say so. If he thinks it is right, that pay demands of 19 per cent are met, then he should says so. The honourable gentleman says to get round the table. That is just simply a political formula for avoiding taking a position on this issue. We will continue to back our nurses.
