Ricky Tomlinson has called on the Tory government to support health workers amid reports NHS consultants could strike.
The Royle Family star appeared on Tuesday afternoon’s Loose Women episode from a theatre in Liverpool and praised the work of the NHS from his personal experience.
Panellist Janet Street-Porter asked if the Scouser was in support of the strikes, after the British Medical Association (BMA) warned it will proceed to a formal ballot for industrial action unless the government acts before 3 April.
