Labour MP Wes Streeting urged party colleagues to see the NHS as a 'service not a shrine'
In an interview with the Telegraph Wes Streeting targeted the BMA, which represents doctors and medical students, as he urged party colleagues to see the NHS as a “service not a shrine”.
Streeting, criticising what he called “defensive attitudes”, said that Labour will not have a “something-for-nothing culture in the NHS”. Meanwhile Dr Emma Runswick, deputy chair of council at the BMA, called the Labour MP’s comments “incredibly disappointing”.“The anger for that crisis should be directed squarely at the Government and their failure to invest, not at those who work in the NHS or the unions who represent them,” she said.
“We very much hope Mr Streeting will focus his attention on challenging this Government on ensuring that they will offer strong support to the doctors, nurses and other NHS workers who are now suffering unprecedented levels of exhaustion and burnout."
