LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told a gathering of health and social-care leaders that a “bold and radical approach” is needed to end the crisis at the country’s National Health Service.
Sunak hosted a “recovery forum” of health professionals and officials at Downing Street on Saturday that was first announced last night to address issues including improving emergency treatment and speeding up social-care discharge. The government said it would publish plans to improve ambulance and A&E waiting times in the coming weeks.
“We are determined to ease pressure on the NHS, ensure better care for patients and deliver our promise to cut waiting lists,” Sunak commented in a tweet Saturday.
