The Health Secretary has been confronted by an angry mother who told him the damage that Tories have inflicted on families is ‘terrible’.
At her daughter’s bedside, the mum told him she is ‘scared’ the Conservative’s handling of the NHS could see her daughter die young from cystic fibrosis.
‘The doctors, the nurses, everyone on the ward is just brilliant considering what they’re under, considering the shortage of staff, considering the lack of resources,’ she said. Speaking afterwards, the mum said: ‘They’re so hard working and incredible and are doing an absolutely brilliant job under such intense pressures like as underfunding and understaffing.
‘We were all packed up and ready to go to the hospital when we got a phone call last minute to say no beds were available,’ she said.
