Jane Lees-Millais heckles Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during his visit to Melksham Town Football Club
The doctor interrupted the Prime Minister during a stump speech to Tory members at Melksham Town Football Club, Wiltshire. “My parents dedicated themselves to primary care. I know a thing or two about it. I worked very hard at my mum’s pharmacy.”The Prime Minister pointed to the Pharmacy First programme, which he said makes it “easier for people to see other primary care practitioners to get the treatments they need”, as another step taken to help GPs’ workload.
Asked why she felt the need to call out during the Prime Minister’s speech, she said: “Because I have been unable to get any work as a locum for three months, other than very occasional, having worked for 40 years in the NHS.”
