Waiting times won ’t fall unless the government deals with NHS pay, says UNISON
Responding to Rishi Sunak’s speech today (Wednesday) in which he pledged to reduce NHS waiting lists, UNISON deputy head of health Helga Pile said: “Society needs a well-funded, well-staffed NHS so care and treatment is available the moment people need it. “If the Prime Minister is serious about change and doing things differently, he should apply this to his government’s approach to the healthcare crisis.
