NHS workforce plan: Too late for millions waiting in pain for treatment

Responding to the announcement of the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“This plan will come too late for the millions of people who have suffered in pain or died in hospital corridors waiting for treatment because the Conservative Government refused to act.

“Patients across the country are languishing on NHS waiting lists or struggling to get a GP appointment because the Conservatives have driven our health services into the ground for years.

“After promises of new hospitals that were never built and extra GPs who were never recruited, the public will rightly judge this Conservative government on their actions not their words.”
