Atkins on Kuennsberg: Flying blind into another winter crisis
4 Dec 2023
EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Responding to Victoria Atkins appearance on the Laura Kuennsberg show this morning, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperon Sarah Olney MP said:
"This Conservative Government has already broken its promise on recruiting new GPs, now it looks likely that the promise to cut waiting lists will also be broken.
"Atkins couldn't provide any reassurance for patients stuck waiting for surgery and treatment.
"With no extra money for the NHS during the Autumn Statement, we're flying blind into another winter crisis and Atkins wouldn't even deny it."
