Former NHS Trust Chair Roy Lilley warns that industrial action by junior doctors ahead of Christmas will cause massive disruptions, making it even more difficult to manage the NHS during the already challenging winter. Junior doctors in Wales plan a 72-hour strike in the new year. Labour's pledge to clear the NHS waiting list is in question as the NHS faces strike-related closures and treatment restrictions over the festive period. Rishi Sunak expresses concern over the impact of strikes on NHS waiting lists. The Prime Minister and Wes Streeting criticize the junior doctors' strikes, calling for negotiations to end the strikes. Bhasha Mukherjee, a junior doctor and former Miss England, highlights a misuse of government funding fueling the strikes. The situation raises questions about the ability to clear the NHS backlog and manage the impact of strikes on patient care.
The prospect of A&E departments closing thanks to Rishi Sunak’s failure to end NHS strikes will send shivers down patients’ spines. The Conservatives must stop playing politics with our NHS, get around the table with junior doctors, and negotiate an end to these strikes. https://t.co/JxKeIEdWrB

Labour is serious about clearing the NHS backlog, because we understand its costs. Delayed treatment leaves you to struggle through in sickness, putting life on hold. A Labour Govt will ramp up weekend appointments to get the NHS moving again. https://t.co/6qBIFiS1UC

If Labour ends up in power after the next general election, Wes Streeting will be given the mammoth job of fixing Britain’s beloved but creaking National Health Service. Is he up to the task? https://t.co/FtzhMsU11A 👇
