The deputy leader of Northumberland Labour has criticised the Government over hospital waiting times following the appointment of a third health secretary in just over a year.
Former Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay was appointed as the Government's health boss following the resignation of Sajid Javid earlier this month. Mr Javid felt he could no longer continue in the cabinet under Boris Johnson.
Mr Javid had only been in post for a little over a year, replacing Matt Hancock on June 16 2021 after breaching Covid-19 regulations.
