PRESS RELEASE: Jeremy Hunt appeases Hard Brexiters at the expense of our NHS

Diane Abbott, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, responding to Jeremy Hunt’s speech to Tory Party conference, said:

“It appears that Hunt has taken a chapter from the Hard Brexiter’s Myth book. The idea that we can be self-sufficient in medical staff is nonsense.
“The true picture is that the NHS has never been in a more perilous state and the Tories are cutting the health budget by £22 billion.
“The reality is that Hunt has lost the trust of the medical profession and is the least popular Health Minister in recent history. Morale amongst NHS staff is at rock bottom and Hunt has shown once again just how little regard he has for the hard-working people that keep our health service running.”
