Wouldn't it be easier and infinitely quicker to actually pay Doctors and Nurses a viable modern salary that reflects the invaluable work they do on our behalf?

@BBCNews Cmon BBC. This is enabling gas lighting. There is a daily exodus of NHS staff every day after 13 years of pay cuts and NHS underfunding. Recruitment and retention is in tatters. This man knows it, and he has the power to change it but refuses to do so.

Lies, lies and more lies. He knows he's out at the next election, he doesn't give a toss about the country. He will just laugh at us from his California mansion.

Has @CommonsSpeaker seen this? Isn't "the largest expansion in training and workforce in NHS history" worth announcing in Parliament before it's discussed by Little Rishi in the media? Will there be a trail of these announcements leading up to the by-elections? #ToryShambles

Imagine paying more people better Imagine what they'd do They'd buy more food, the occasional local luxury, the odd big luxury. They'd stimulate economic growth They'd pay more taxes They'd help local business And yet Sunak will help his millionaire mates..

All the while, he refuses to pay junior doctors a salary they can live on.

Shouldn’t this policy being announced in Parliament first? So much for Sunak’s integrity, professionalism and accountability…the unelected PM with no mandate! #GeneralElectionN0W!

The Government says it wants to cut NHS waiting lists. The NHS could carry out up to 1.5 million more operations every year. But here’s what the politicians aren’t telling you. The NHS is short of 2,256 anaesthetists; the specialist doctors who make most operations possible. Yet thousands of doctors are trying to become anaesthetists but can’t, because the Government only funds a limited number of specialty training places. Last year, 6,770 doctors applied for just 539 core anaesthetic training places. Without those places, doctors cannot complete specialist training and the NHS cannot grow the workforce it needs. The Royal College of Anaesthetists says hospitals already have the capacity to train hundreds more anaesthetists every year; if the Government funds the additional training places. Patients are waiting. Doctors are ready to train. The Government needs to stop limiting funded specialty training places and invest in the workforce the NHS and the public need.

Making up more than a quarter of the workforce, nurses and midwives are uniquely placed to speak about what's working in the NHS and what isn't. Make your voice heard and help shape the future of the NHS.

"Do you really care about the NHS? Will you keep the NHS as it was always intended to be? Prove it to us." This is what nursing staff would say to PM Rishi Sunak if they had one minute with him. It's exactly what has led to the #RCNStrike. RT in solidarity with nursing.

While patients wait years for surgery and months to see a specialist, Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are threatening to cut the number of NHS specialist doctor training jobs. Most people don’t realise this, but doctors can’t just become Consultants, Surgeons or GPs on their own. They have to get a speciality training job first. These jobs are controlled and capped by the Government. So when the Government talks about cutting speciality training jobs, what they are really talking about is cutting the number of future specialist doctors in this country. At a time when the NHS already doesn’t have enough doctors. At a time when waiting lists are in the millions. At a time when patients are waiting months just to see a specialist and years for operations. Cutting the number of specialist training jobs will not fix the NHS. It will make waiting lists longer. It will make it harder to see a doctor. It will make the NHS worse for patients. Threatening to reduce the number of future doctors while patients are already struggling to access care is not just a deliberate workforce policy decision. It is a direct threat to the NHS and to the public who rely on it, coming from a ‘Labour’ Government.

One of our proudest achievements is our NHS, free at the point of need. But 13 years of Tory government have run it into the ground. Labour will bring in one of the biggest NHS workforce expansions in history, paid for by scrapping non-dom status.

While you wait hours to be seen in A&E and weeks for a GP appointment, NHS doctors are being forced into unemployment. This year, 40,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs. Without these training jobs, doctors cannot progress to become the GPs and Consultants the NHS desperately needs. What the public isn’t told is that these training jobs are deliberately capped by the Government. Catastrophic workforce planning has created a farcical situation; patients are crying out to see a doctor, while thousands of fully trained doctors are locked out of the NHS. This year, 14 doctors competed for every single A&E training job. Five doctors competed for every GP training job. The NHS is turning away dedicated, talented doctors at the door. This is one of the reasons resident doctors went out on strike and why we are reballoting. We are training doctors at enormous personal cost; years of study, debt, night shifts, missed family moments, and then telling them there is no place for them in the NHS. This is not just a workforce failure. It is a moral one.
