00:00This government came in and said very starkly that our NHS is broken
00:04because we feel very strongly that unless you're honest about the scale of the problem
00:10you're not going to rise to the challenge to turn the situation around.
00:17And I know that the last 14 years have been really really hard.
00:21We've had austerity, we haven't had the right money and resources,
00:25we've had a reorganisation of the NHS that made no sense and made things worse.
00:30Then had the burden of Covid and everything that followed after that.
00:35And frankly you deserve a lot better than that.
00:39And I know that when the waiting lists are so high
00:42that has an effect on the morale of every single person working in the NHS.
