NHS Workforce Crisis

The longer the Conservatives are in power, the longer patients will wait.

The Conservatives blame everything from the weather to the pandemic and even NHS staff.

But it is 13 years of their failure that has broken the NHS. Now more than 7 million people are waiting months and even years for treatment, held back from working and living their lives to the full. We can’t build a healthy economy without a healthy society.

A Labour government will pull every available lever to get patients treated sooner, but sticking plasters aren’t enough. We have to grasp the root cause of the crisis in the NHS.

Labour chooses investing in our NHS workforce, instead of keeping a tax break for non-doms – the mega-rich few who live here, but use a loophole to get out of paying their taxes here.

The next Labour government will train a new generation of doctors, nurses, and midwives to treat patients on time again.
