King's Speech: Fixing NHS and care must be a priority

EMBARGO: 22.30 16th July 2024

Commenting ahead of the King’s Speech tomorrow, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Years of chaos under the Conservatives have left us with a stagnant economy and health services in a state of crisis. Millions of people are stuck on NHS waiting lists and struggling to get the care they need to return to work.

“Fixing the NHS and care would put rocket boosters under economic growth in our country.

“The Liberal Democrats will keep campaigning for our policies to tackle the health and care crisis and get our economy back on track. That is what millions of people voted for at the General Election, we will not let them down.”
