A nursing chief today accused Rishi Sunak of being ‘detached from reality’ after he failed in a speech to offer hope to the crumbling NHS.
In his first major speech as PM, Mr Sunak gave five promises to reboot his crisis-hit Government, including slashing NHS waits.
Mr Sunak admitted patients were not getting the “care they deserve” but blamed Covid backlogs and lack of social care beds keeping patients in hospital.
