The Prime Minister was told by an elderly patient to "try harder" on nurses' pay during a hospital visit. Catherine Poole, 77, took the opportunity to speak out on the issue as Rishi Sunak visited her ward at Croydon University Hospital.
Mr Sunak asked the south Londoner, who is recovering from surgery, how the nurses were looking after her. "You need to pay them," Ms Poole instructed the Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak, wearing a mask as he toured the hospital, said his Government was trying. "You are not trying, you need to try harder," she told him.
