RISHI Sunak has claimed he "can get to grips” with the crisis facing the NHS as he admitted the health service was struggling.
The Prime Minister told the BBC he had left a meeting with NHS leaders with a “renewed sense of confidence and optimism” as he demanded “bold and radical” action to alleviate the winter crisis.
Reducing NHS waiting times was one of five key pledges made by Sunak earlier this week with more nurses' strikes set to take place in England at the end of the month.
