Hi, with all due respect I think what you're saying is absolute rubbish.
00:05
Who are you talking about specifically?
00:06
Mark, because I've been in the NHS for 37 years and you've had 14 years to sort out
00:13
social care. It's been decimated, there are patients in our hospital, I'm a
00:18
frontline worker, I work on the ward, there are patients in our hospital that
00:22
are in beds, well there are 10 ambulances outside, there are patients in
00:27
corridors, there are patients dying in corridors, you've closed cottage
00:31
hospitals, there's nowhere for these people to rehab. If you sorted out social
00:36
care and put your money where your mouth is then all these issues will get
00:41
sorted by themselves. It would just have a knock-on effect but you're
00:44
talking absolute rubbish because you're trying to decimate the NHS and we
00:48
all know that. You don't want the NHS. You don't want it, you never have wanted it.
00:52
You're going to let me come back. No, that's exactly what the case is.
