Gavin and Stacey star Alison Steadman says the country can longer be called Great Britain, because of the state of the NHS. The actor spoke out as nurses, paramedics and ambulance staff walk out in strike action “appalling” state of the health service.
Alison, patron of the Keep Our NHS Public campaign group, slammed ministers for failing to sit down and talk with NHS staff to avert strikes, and warned that “people are dying” as there are not enough doctors, nurses and ambulance workers, reports The Mirror.
Alison said: “I think it is ridiculous, they should be talking about pay. These are not greedy people who want a pay increase. They are in one of the poorest-paid jobs in the country and this shouldn't be the case.
