Do not trivialise our NHS by turning it into an episode of ‘Dad’s Army’.
We have 100,000 NHS vacancies.
The reason we have these vacancies is that successive governments have reduced NHS salaries against comparators year-on-year. (1/4)
Our new NHS Reserves programme is being rolled out across the country.
Local hospitals will be able to mobilise a broad range of fully trained staff, from retired doctors to IT experts, giving the NHS additional capacity when it needs it most.
