the health secretary steve barclay was asked about it this morning.ocess, with the chancellor at the next fiscal event. it's something he has long championed and been hugely supportive of, as indeed has the prime minister. so we're being clear — as a government, we're going to prioritise what is the biggest workforce expansion in the nhs's history. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsignore has more. the fallout from last week's nhs long—term workforce plan, lewis, is still playing out and crucially, they have a big anniversary this week. 75th anniversary of the national health service here in the uk, a much loved institution, of course. an institution under huge amounts of pressure, as health care systems are around the world. we heard this morning, talking to our own laura kuenssberg, amanda prichard. she's head of the nhs and she was talking about some of the pressures facing the nhs — both in the long term but in the short term as well. here's what she had to say. what we've always recognised, in fact when the previous secretary of state announce

it's not really for me to tell steve barclay how to do his job.'s a problem shared between the secretary of state who's responsible for delivering care to patients who've been waiting for too long, on waiting lists, that's the problem for which he is responsible. he has to deal with the people who are going to deliver that. the secretary of state never treats a patient. the only people who do that are the clinicians working in the health service. has to health service. so he has to deal the people who are deal with the people who are going solve the problem that going to solve the problem that are is his are his that is his responsibility. there's nobody else do it. so just else is going to do it. so just saying we're not going to talk about it is obviously not right, because they are going to have to talk about it to find a solution. and what about and i don't quite know how this works. >> having never been on strike myself, but presumably he the idea of a strike with this is well either the government caves because they become increasingly unpop

with reports of departments and their cabinet ministers like steve barclay and gillian keegan being askede impact on public service performance. also, unions, such as the teachers say they are on strike not only for higher pay, but because they say schools are badly under—resourced. it's far from clear that they would stop their industrial action if their pay rises meant cuts elsewhere in education services. many economists are urging the government to get out of this bind by raising taxes to pay for the public sector pay rise. this would offset any inflationary impact, protect the fiscal rules, and avoid the need for cuts to public services. and it might help end the strikes. yet it should be noted that taxes are already rising sharply. and with a general election looming, this is, for obvious reasons, not an attractive avenue for ministers. but with the independent pay review reports on ministers desks and a decision expected very soon, it seems to be a choice they cannot duck. let's talk tojoe pike, our insight editor. joe, has the prime minister decided what to do? not formally, victo
