Speaking up for our NHS

Newsnight Capture

On Monday 1st December, I appeared on BBC’s Newsnight to discuss some of the challenges faced by our NHS. You can watch the programme here.

People are really struggling to get an appointment with their GP and too many older people are ending up in hospital when they could have received better treatment at home or in the community. I made the case for an extra investment in the NHS to help tackle these issues, but said this must be tied to reform to improve services for patients and to provide better value for the tax payer.
