and if labour are so good at managing the nhs , why is welsh nhs in the the nhs, why is welsh nhs in the uk would be really happy if they got back to being seen and being treated within 18 weeks as it was when the labour party left government in two things. and that's the most that's the most important thing , the quality of service you get. there's been this deterioration, this massive deterioration, this massive deterioration in the and nhs england and that has to be dealt with by the government or a spokesman for nhs wales because nhs wales is under the labour party has been for about two decades and the waiting list, for example, they're aware that nhs england . so if labour's so nhs england. so if labour's so good and these beacon of running health services, why is that one so bad? well, rishi sunak is always praising nhs. well, he offered rishi sunak pretty sunak says, and i don't want to quit. rishi isn't the prime minister. he's our prime minister, mine as well as yours. rishi sunak is always saying the thing about scotland and wales and their health services is the first min

and save the nhs by not the nhs. maybe five, ten years ago it was the case that people would rush to agony, you know, because they'd cut fingernail or something very trivial. i actually think the pandemic changed all of that and i we learn not to use i think we did learn not to use hospitals sometimes tragically when we were in dire need of use hospitals. people have given up . i've certainly given up on getting a gp appointment, you know, instead has this is know, google instead has this is another thing that people mentioned all the views in mentioned in all the views in today is like, well, we are going to a&e a lot more because we can't get to see gp still. yes but that doesn't mean to say that real people that there's not real people have got serious health problems and yet again we're being told don't bother turning up at a hospital. we have the ridiculous peter when large. yes and also there's this growing trend for remote doctoring. in fact it's on this very programme . a few on this very programme. a few wee

nhs and go see.didn't just have slogans , they turned the welsh slogans, they turned the welsh labour nhs around . the first labour nhs around. the first thing that the welsh labour party in government did devolution was made a big decision and there's been they've been backed by the voters ever since . they made a voters ever since. they made a big decision not to small but not to close small cottage hospitals . they decided to have hospitals. they decided to have a quite a distributed system which had small small hospitals over. which had small small hospitals over . that which had small small hospitals over. that means there's a lot of costs in your hospitals, not in other parts of health service. think i think that service. i think i think that drove whole of the way drove a whole lot of the way that they've been managing the health wales since health service in wales since then. not the english then. that's not the english model. we have big district general hospitals. when i talk about was part

the public confidence , the nhs. what's confidence, the nhs. what's going ?he public going? well, i think the public are quite right to be concerned about , the nhs. but the problems about, the nhs. but the problems of the nhs have only been excessive in the last couple of years. by covid the problems of the nhs. a deep and of the problems that you find in all institutions of the country. the moment, at the moment, equality of outcome is paramount . it's of outcome is paramount. it's important to all people within the nhs. all power has been taken away from people , from taken away from people, from patients and the nhs. talk a good game about providing patients with choice for patients with choice for patients don't have any choice and anyone who has had the misfortune of having to deal with nhs , a&e or gps over the with nhs, a&e or gps over the last few months will can, can, can provide good evidence towards. but there was an interesting bit in the letter in this story said those had actually experienced the nhs recently were quite competent. okay yeah so

so if the man in nhs, nhs. the man in charge of sorting a crisis affects 9590 9% of the country doesn't use it. there's a sense in which he's not in the same boat, that we're not all in this together. i think it's very ill advised, dominic, because he probably didn't want to admit it because, know, a because, you know, as a journalist, would a field journalist, would i have a field day? but actually, if truth be told, even if you've got the best health care in the best private health care in the land, still component land, there's still a component of that you have to use of the nhs that you have to use because things like a&e is they're not equivalent in the private sector. so have to private sector. so you'd have to end there anywhere, end up there anywhere, heaven forbid, of forbid, if you had that kind of urgent i think it's urgent need. yeah, i think it's bizarre, but he's actually just not coming out and saying that. yeah, private gp. yeah, i use a private gp. i mean, exactly do people mean, what exactly

nhs. ~ . ,., ., the nhs.hat. well, on one of those plans you are suggesting today that gps, many of them should become salaried members of staff under the nhs. now of course at the moment gps have their own practices and run them like small businesses. would you buy out gp practices around the country, sounds pretty expensive, how much would it cost? we sounds pretty expensive, how much would it cost?— would it cost? we will consult on hasin: would it cost? we will consult on phasing out _ would it cost? we will consult on phasing out over— would it cost? we will consult on phasing out over time. _ would it cost? we will consult on phasing out over time. that's i would it cost? we will consult on| phasing out over time. that's the trend by the way, people coming into general practice now are less likely to become gp partners in the way they have done previously. in fact by 2026 salaried gps are likely to be the majority, so the trend is already in that direction. but i'm looking at this as part of a much wide

to the nhs again, you know? because there's a legal claim. it says it's extremely grateful to staff who worked tirelessly during the pandemic. bbc panorama has tried to assess how many staff are off sick with long covid. the nhs in england and wales don't record this. northern ireland does, and says 0.6% of its workforce is off with it. for scotland, it's 0.3%. if those rates were reflected across the uk, it could mean between 5,000 and 10,000 nhs staff absent. we have this group of people, they're just in a no—man�*s land. we don't have the support for them. and actually that genuinely makes me angry. a cross—party group of politicians are calling for compensation for health workers with long covid. we are falling behind our peers in our recognition of this as a real disease that needs proper recognition and compensation. nhs guidelines encourage managers to test all options to get staff back to work. the government says it will respond openly to the covid—19 public inquiry. it could take years to complete. cat

the nhs is in start prioritise. the nhs is in peril.n currently in rights . stuart, just stay where you are because just want to play a little clip of something you got a bit reaction to it earlier today, we also heard an alternative and this is important actually, it slipped into the for obvious into the radar for obvious reasons. rishi our prime minister comes out and, you know, issues it. five promises and all of this stuff. so this is main headline the day. is the main headline of the day. but happened earlier but something happened earlier on, is very on, which is very very important, the leader the important, is the leader of the reform party, by the way, reform party, which by the way, is polling plenty of places is now polling plenty of places above liberal democrats . so, above the liberal democrats. so, you gone from you know, he's gone from just being party. that being kind of fringe party. that was. i don't to say was. well, i don't to say relatively easy ignored, but relatively easy ignored, but relatively easy. you what ?

there's nhs facilities too.estment in hospitals. all of this is having an impact. there are warnings that between 300 and 500 people are dying as a consequence of delays and problems each week, and the prime minister doesn't dispute the challenges. health care professionals are still unable to deliver the care they want, and patients aren't receiving the care they deserve. the government says it's doing everything possible, and that includes more money. i will increase the nhs budget in each of the next two years by £35 billion. future funding matters, but so does funding in the past and present. let's work through the detail. first of all, here's a graph which shows spending on health care since 2000. now, it's normalfor spending to rise every year because of various factors including an ageing population. but look at the rate at which spending increased from 2000 to 2010 under a labour government — the average increase was 6.6% a year. then in 2010 there was an election. both labour and the conservatives promi

actually the expensive part of nhs , the expensive part of the nhs, the expensive part of the nhs, ther if we could address the gp in the care aspect, but the thing with the gp, it's not universal. so like today i to gp surgeries, quality commission reports on both parkland surgery in mike i face to face appointments . there's no delays. appointments. there's no delays. it's the areas where it's not happening and if it can be done in one surgery or two or threes, i reckon in my constituency i've got a problem with perhaps two of the surgeries. out of all the surgery we got to fix that. again, that's a serious point . i again, that's a serious point. i don't know exactly what the solution. i mean, nothing to do because . i think way that because. i think the way that the contract is if you have the gp contract is if you have an area of greater deprivation, you will you will have people turning up more often . so if i turning up more often. so if i look at the surgeries , my look at the surgeries, my constituency that are struggling, they're all in poorest areas. i don't know about you a

i better protect the nhs save lives. and, and nhs to save lives.e have stayed away far too long we've got who long and we've got people who would after just would have died afterjust because they were misdiagnosed , because they were misdiagnosed, but because didn't even get but because they didn't even get diagnosed in the place. diagnosed in the first place. and gp's were not given the hurry up to get into their surgeries. they were not given the hurry up at all where people or triple vaccinated etc. we had waves of coronavirus all right? we had omicron and stuff, but gp's needed to be back in their surgeries and it was too all for them to continue down this ridiculous less virtual appointment. rabbit hole and the amount of lives that will be lost to chris which he was all very well and good telling us that you need to shut down your business, that you couldn't go to that couldn't do to the gym, that you couldn't do various you bankrupt various you had to bankrupt yourself sacrifices yourself and sacrifices at the altar of our beloved nhs. but wa

. hearing nhs.navailable in hospital because there is no place those to go place for those people to go even they are ready to even though they are ready to leave hospital and be discharged. jackie says this as an ex axillary nurse , we badly an ex axillary nurse, we badly need cottage hospitals need the cottage hospitals reinstalled, reinstated in local areas, freeing up beds. she says and large teaching hospitals. once a patients no longer critical, just they just need general care prior to full release. it's a connected release. so it's a connected issue yeah the issue there. yeah and it's the same in maternity, you that same in maternity, you know that would with sort would really help with the sort of after birth for of recovery after birth for a lot mothers as well. nicky lot of mothers as well. nicky says it was a big mistake taking away the nurses and matrons and doctors, consultants running the hospitals. the hospitals. they knew what the work went work involved and staff went through. inte

it's been a cliche to talk about the nhs being on the brink of collapse. _ about the nhs being on thems to be the case now _ collapse, but what seems to be the case now is— collapse, but what seems to be the case now is that collapse under way if you're _ case now is that collapse under way if you're having hundreds of people dying _ if you're having hundreds of people dying unnecessarily because the ane department simply can't cope. there are all— department simply can't cope. there are all kinds — department simply can't cope. there are all kinds of reasons for that and it— are all kinds of reasons for that and it goes back to gps diagnoses, shortage _ and it goes back to gps diagnoses, shortage of beds because there are people _ shortage of beds because there are people who are well enough to be discharged from hospital but not the care available for them in the communities they are staying, which means— communities they are staying, which means others can't be admitted or treated~ _ means others can't be admitted or treated. there are staffing and morale — treated. there are staff

_ ultimately adds to the pressure on the nhs. ., , , , the nhs.aise headlines, kevin, millions willshun trains forever, we've got a series of strikes beginning the morning in fact. i think it is probably fair to say a lot of people have started to wonder how reliable this service is and perhaps look for alternatives but that is the pretty big statement. it but that is the pretty big statement.— but that is the pretty big statement. , , , ., ., statement. it is, yes, the war of words between _ statement. it is, yes, the war of words between the _ statement. it is, yes, the war of words between the government| statement. it is, yes, the war of. words between the government and statement. it is, yes, the war of- words between the government and the unions, between them and the rmt, largely, is really ramping up now. the rmt have directly accuse the government of blocking any attempt to resolve the dispute. the government denied that an site is not a matterfor them, it government denied that an site is not a matter for them, it is a matter for the emp

the nhs , migrants and people. the nhs, migrants and industrial action. well, this is certainly something rishi sunak is cared about for a long time in the leadership election which occurred during last summer. he did talk about ensuring that people should continue with until the age of 18, right through their schooling. but i think a lot of people will be thinking this is the most pressing issue the country faces right now. and i'd be very surprised if after the speeches concluded, the questions from journalists in that audience, i'd be very surprised if they focussed on maths rather than the bigger challenges. perhaps that country will be facing. in fact i'd be very surprised if the prime minister also in this speech focus on some of those challenges as well . yeah. and do challenges as well. yeah. and do we know whether he's to actually unveil policy on maths or is it just going to be more about aspiration . i think we're going aspiration. i think we're going to towards that. it's to hear some towards that. it's interesting of the interesting that in s

, nhs figures nhs, because nhs figures released earlier today show the number people waiting more 12more 12 hours in a&e departments in england from decision to admit to actually being admitted. yeah has risen . 50,000 for the first has risen. 50,000 for the first time which is a pretty shocking and brazen set. the vice president of the royal college of emergency medicine says that the could lead to the news could lead to more patient deaths. wait to be patient deaths. they wait to be seen, obviously . well, the news seen, obviously. well, the news comes after . comes just a day after. ambulance out in ambulance workers walked out in a pay. today a dispute over pay. and today the health met with medical leaders to discuss pay and concerns. the department of health spokesperson branded the meeting constructive, which is nice, but union leader said that there was no commitment to , there was no commitment to, extra pay. and this is for doctor . okay so extra pay. and this is for doctor. okay so joining me now is dr. richard votary , bma, gp is dr. richard votary, bma, gp committee chai

then the other nhs. you've other issue is the nhs.of the labour, saying that the nhs is in urgent need of reform and you've got those on the left of the labour party. rosina allen con today refusing to say that wes streeting vision for labour reforming the nhs is right and they are sticking with the line that all the nhs needs is, is more funding and everything will be resolved. so keir starmer is leading a bit of a divided ship. i think a fair bit. yeah, well, i get your point. i wonder if endless money is the answer to this, olivia, and we'll find out a little bit early. thank you very much indeed. well, rishi sunak's spokesperson has said he's confident government has provided enough of that funding to nhs to cope, despite to the nhs to cope, despite warnings from doctors that the nhs . one of the nhs is struggling. one of the worst crises record , worst winter crises on record, which almost discusses, is which almost half discusses, is nhs gp. dr. anita raja. good morning to you , doctor. so is morning to you, doctor. so is the an

i love the or love the nhs or the nhs or we love the nhs or nhs variants on a theme .way, please do stay with us both because we'll be coming straight back maps back to you to talk about maps in just one moment. political commentator with of commentator webb with us, of course, and labour mp course, and former labour mp stephen you very stephen powell. thank you very much now. but we're going to much for now. but we're going to be on to something a be moving on to something a little are many little drier. there are many reasons attempting reasons people may be attempting january new year financial january this new year financial related or perhaps curing related or perhaps just curing ocd. i lost it yesterday evening. i must admit myself. the hope is getting through the 31 days will be easy, but for others it may be slightly more challenging. and what about hospitality businesses need support after a difficult support after such a difficult time during covid and beyond. our north of england reporter sophie reaper has been finding out about an alcohol ative that may the

your for the nhs . i think it needs to for the nhs. i think it needs to change or . it for the nhs.ry sadly do that it's somehow got upside down. we don't put enough emphasis on primary care, so people end up in hospital . the nanny is from in hospital. the nanny is from much worse than had they been spotted or treated in a more minor way much earlier on. and i think we've really got to rethink where the focus is , rethink where the focus is, whether it's from the care and making sure that people have those terrible foods that need massive hip replacements , etc, massive hip replacements, etc, that they are in a safe environment, that perhaps some of this online digital idea is going work. i am no expert . i going work. i am no expert. i think it's got to be a beginning to make sure people get the care early so that it doesn't to the very major problems later on. and that's true of virtually the diseases the nhs is worldwide, but not in the way the british think it . but not in the way the british think it. it's outcomes are not up with our european neighbours . neil fox yeah, i mea

the in the in the nhs even the nhs is probably the nhs even the nhs is probably the most diverse institutionmost diverse institution in the world and so much money goes on on roles like that think it's about on on roles like that think it's abou t £500 million goes on about £500 million goes on equality and diversity that could go towards that. the salaries of 12,000 nurses. so i think this is a much broader point about the bloated ness of the nhs where money goes because it's not going on the front. my services and it's not just nurses either, it's health care workers is carers is who even get less play the nurses and work really really hard. i think it's a it's a much bigger issue . we often see a lot of mismatch but in the nhs services being to prop up services that aren't or aren't functioning right. prop up services that aren't or aren't functioning right . money aren't functioning right. money going on, agency workers . and going on, agency workers. and you know, all of this needs to looked at more properly rather than just focussed on nurses pay . yeah, yeah. i hear you there actually

so can the nhs be fixed? mat can the nhs be fixed? not replacing _ can the nhs be fixed?he _ can the nhs be fixed? iirrt replacing the hospital, it isn't about the death of a hospital. isn't about the death of a hospital-— isn't about the death of a hospital. hello mrs east? 93-year-old _ hospital. hello mrs east? 93-year-old elizabeth - hospital. hello mrs east? | 93-year-old elizabeth east hospital. hello mrs east? - 93-year-old elizabeth east is 93—year—old elizabeth east is being assessed at the john radcliffe in oxford.- being assessed at the john radcliffe in oxford. how are ou radcliffe in oxford. how are you doing? _ radcliffe in oxford. how are you doing? like _ radcliffe in oxford. how are you doing? like many- radcliffe in oxford. how are i you doing? like many hospitals across the _ you doing? like many hospitals across the country, _ you doing? like many hospitals across the country, it _ you doing? like many hospitals across the country, it has - you doing? like many hospitals across the country, it has been | across the country, it has been pushed to its li

so people are dying because the problems the nhs now the nhs , the government is keen the nhs, the governmentjust this week. they've announced . 250 million they've announced. 250 million to deal with pressure on the an e but demand has never been greater. there was 2.3 million people went to a in a&e last month more nine nine calls than ever. month more nine nine calls than ever . we've got covid. we've got ever. we've got covid. we've got flu. flu cases look like they might have peaked , but very high might have peaked, but very high compared to a year ago. and then all the backlog from the pandemic and people that didn't seek treatment during covid that are now coming forward. and those conditions are much further on. it is throwing money at the nhs. i mean, the 14 billion and all the rest of it is actually the answer because when we were talking to a doctor who works within a&e earlier on, he was saying, well, actually it's not though we need more money. what we need to free up the backlog which means putting money into social care, not the nhs certainly money is only part of the picture,

in the nhs during 2010—2021 of the entire nhs�*s history.historic i are talking about the historic levels of funding which the nhs funding was protected through very difficult times, but there were the austerity years, . .. difficult times, but there were the austerity years, . . ._ austerity years,... which are you referrin: austerity years,... which are you referring to? _ austerity years,... which are you referring to? nhs _ austerity years,... which are you referring to? nhs spending - austerity years,... which are you referring to? nhs spending was| referring to? nhs spending was rotected referring to? nhs spending was protected going _ referring to? nhs spending was protected going through - referring to? nhs spending was protected going through the - protected going through the austerity years but it hasn't increased in line with inflation. if you have a look at graphs showing decade to decade real term investment into the nhs, the funding dipped to 1.6% increase year upon year real terms investment. that is the lowest in the nhs�*s i

and in store you had about nhs doctors had earlier about nhs doctors being nhs.s a country pay for your training, you absolutely should offer us a set amount of time and hallelujah, give time back and hallelujah, give us hand there because i and us hand up there because i and if and if that kind of thing existed then going private would have much less moral effect and have much less moral effect and have more practical. do you have much more practical. do you think think that think do you think that politicians do you think. it's embarrassing politicians if embarrassing for politicians if they admit that they they use private care , you know, private health care, you know, as as it isn't illegal. why as long as it isn't illegal. why it's as the politicians it's the same as the politicians who on for years about who crowed on for years about pubuc who crowed on for years about public school, private. turns out all in private out that kids all in private school i mean, diane school i mean, i think diane abbott was guilty of that abbott was very guilty of that child

what do you do the nhs going forward ? because the nhs going forward?t's just not working at the moment . also, it's been moment. also, it's been commented upon over the weekend and throughout the festive penod and throughout the festive period that rishi sunak has been well a bit missing in action . well a bit missing in action. jake, he's got the bottle to deal. jake, he's got the bottle to deal . all of these very many deal. all of these very many challenges. i mean, the daily mail , as you challenges. i mean, the daily mail, as you said at the start, really, rishi triple new year headache the strikes , the nhs headache the strikes, the nhs and of course the channel migrant . has and of course the channel migrant. has he got the and of course the channel migrant . has he got the bottle. migrant. has he got the bottle. he seems to have been a little bit too absent . yes i'm bit too absent. yes i'm certainly if i was advising him i'd say get out the he's stop putting putting ministers up for the morning round on tv and. that i think is a mistake. i thi

., the nhs? when you say all the vacancies. _ the nhs?f over 1 have staff turnover. in a workforce of over1 million you will have people being recruited into new roles as people move around in the health service. as we are setting out today, the 5000 new beds commitment is 5000 staffed beds. we also will make sure we have staff and community health care trusts and hospitals and services because that is an important part of the plan, looking after more people at home. i was going to talk about hospital at home, known as virtual wards, which is an important innovation so that rather than people being cared for in hospitalfor rather than people being cared for in hospital for instance after an operation, being unwell, you can go home but be monitored at home and have visits from your community health team and be able to contact and call up the team looking after you in hospital and that can be good for the patient because you can recover often better at home, but you know you have the back—up from the team in hospital. you you know you have
