for nearly a decade, i was stunned. >> i mean , i knew that the nhs >> i mean, i knew that the nhs was broken and i said that on day one, but what i didn't anticipate was receiving a report that revealed that i in 5 health and care providers has never been inspected, and prince harry's not giving up his crusade against the tabloids. >> the duke of sussex claims he will keep meghan away from the uk over safety fears. >> a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are genuine concern for me. it's one of the reasons why i won't bnng one of the reasons why i won't bring my wife back to this country. >> very good morning to you. hope you're all well at home. you've got a nice cup of tea and some bickies on standby or something stronger. if your week's been a bit stressful, a bit icky. >> but of that week. >> but of that week. >> although we'll keep you entertained and also informed with loads of different news stories. i mean, i don't know whether any of you saw the thing on with prince harry last night. did you watch it? >> he's he's a the ginger winger for a reason, you kno

and then at the first nhs. first chances that they've got a lot of these junior doctors who i get what you mean about, you say that they're not paid well for what they do, but i mean, they're paid a huge amount more than the majority of people in society. they've got absolutely cracking pensions and their potential career earnings going down the line are immense. so, you know, do they really have any right to do this. do you worry that maybe they've lost all the public sympathy? >> now we're looking at polls. the junior doctors don't seem to have lost public sympathy at the moment. actually, the public remains in support. if not, support has grown for junior doctors. i don't necessarily think that's because of the plight of the junior doctors. i think it's because the conservative government have done such a terrible job in negotiating with them. so this is where wes streeting has an opportunity here to try and do something about winning over patient support on behalf of the government, rather than the junior d

so today is a first in the nhs. it's an important one to resolve the doctors dispute. but going forward we do need to listen to the frustrations of nurses, of paramedics, of physios and that means building structures where rather than currently you have a pay review body that just picks a number, staff has have a choice to accept it or to go on strike. strike becomes the only resort, not the last resort. instead, we need a real system that listens. so that means proactively embedding staff in those negotiations, reforming the pay review process, and more widely working conditions to make the nhs work better for my colleagues and for the patients that we care about very quickly. >> do you think it's morally acceptable for doctors or nurses at all to ever go on strike? your job at all to ever go on strike? yourjob is meant to be saving lives, not endangering them by going on strike. >> i think in certain cases, striking for the health of the nhs and its ability to deliver for patients in the future is a commitment to

we have been talking about nhs england. at the moment but it is still quite early days. we are not aware of anything in scotland for example. in most of this seems to be focused around gp services but we are getting some reports of issues in some hospitals but not all. and it seems to be areas like for example labs where they are doing testing, where they are again linked to patient records. but not for example a&e. {lit to patient records. but not for example a&e-_ to patient records. but not for examle a&e. u, , ,, ., example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions — example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and _ example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and i _ example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and i think _ example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and i think how- example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and i think how i - example a&e. of course you mention prescriptions and i think how i get - prescriptions and i think how i get a prescription, i go on to my nhs app, | a

so why is the nhs giving it a second - is the nhs giving it a second thought? that this i thought? as i said, we need more research to confirm that this test. research to confirm that this test is as accurate as the current test. we don't want to miss any cases of hpv because hpv is responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer. so we want more research to confirm it is as accurate as current testing taken by a doctor or nurse, but also this was one of the first studies donein this was one of the first studies done in the uk on cell sampling and it was donejust done in the uk on cell sampling and it was done just in north done in the uk on cell sampling and it was donejust in north london. we also want studies around the uk to see how we can roll this out effectively across the uk so that as many women as possible can benefit. if people are interested, how does it, obviously that we know how it works, but they kit looks like a covid kit, that is how is present and it comes through the post, etc. yes it can come through the post or it can be offered during

and he intended to spend his life trying to save the nhs.r a bit later on what his first statement of intent is going to be. and yes, the junior doctors dispute in england will be absolutely at the top of his in—tray. he said before today that the first thing he did is pick up the phone to the british medical association. now, i spoke to the the bma earlier today about their stance and their view was, look, we are ready to start talks on pay as long as it's accepted that it's going to be over a few years. it's a multi—year package to restore what was wiped out by inflation. and i sense wes streeting will agree to that. he's talked in the past about a journey for pay, but that will have to be paid for somehow any deal that he does there. and of course the waiting list is a big priority. 7.5 million people in england, 7.5 million on the waiting list, i should say, 6.5 million people that is some with more than one appointment. how does he bring that down and get that back to the target at the end of the parliament, he's talked about creating 4
