Nottingham MP Nadia Whittome has called for the Prime Minister to 'do something' about the NHS after one of her elderly constituents spent 41 hours in A&E. The Labour MP for Nottingham East attributed '13 years of underfunding' to the incident.
She then called for Rishi Sunak to stop 'blaming the nurses' striking to save the 'collapsing NHS' during Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday, January 11. The Prime Minister responded by saying that this was not a time to blame anybody.
In a tweet posted later that day, Ms Whittome wrote that her constituent waited for 12 hours in a wheelchair followed by 29 hours on a bed in a corridor. She went on to say that this crisis is "the Tories' own making".
