Prime Minister Sunak Confronted Over NHS State During Winchester Visit

Former NHS worker challenges Sunak on long waiting times, sparking criticism from opposition leaders.

Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, was confronted by a former NHS worker during a visit to Winchester, who challenged him over the state of the NHS.
The woman expressed her frustration over lengthy waiting times, with her daughter having to wait seven hours for treatment.
Sunak defended his government's actions, stating that waiting lists had fallen in months without strikes.
Opposition leaders, including Labour's Sir Keir Starmer and Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine, criticized Sunak's response, accusing him of being out of touch.
Despite a slight decrease in waiting lists, the NHS is still failing to meet most of its key performance targets.
