NHS will die under Reform unless doctors stop striking and work with Labour, says Wes Streeting

Health secretary calls on doctors to embrace Labour’s plan to prevent Nigel Farage getting into power and dismantling the health service

Unless doctors stop striking and help Labour fix the damage inflicted by the Tories, the NHS will end up dying under a government led by Reform, Wes Streeting has warned.

Speaking at a special meeting of the British Medical Association’s representative body on Sunday, the health secretary said hospitals and GP surgeries were “hanging by a thread” after more than a decade of neglect by the Conservatives.
