HEALTH Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted performance of the NHS is unacceptable.

As the man who has been in the job for a long time, he is responsible.

If he’s not responsible, Theresa May must be responsible for it is her Government and its policies that have brought the NHS to its knees.

The body count is rising under this Government, with people dying on the streets waiting hours for an ambulance.

They are dying outside hospitals in an ambulance, waiting to get into A&E.

People are dying on trolleys in the hospital, waiting to be seen, and people are dying waiting to have their operations because beds can’t be found for them after they have had their operation.

Theresa May’s cuts to the social care budget have led to the closure of care homes and the bed blocking of hospitals because no care packages can be provided.

Young men are increasingly taking their own lives in prison because of the cuts to staff.

The welfare system as we know it has been destroyed. People who are physically or mentally unfit to work are now classified as fit for work.

When they fail to apply for enough jobs or don’t attend for interviews at the Job Centre, they are sanctioned and lose their benefits. For some it is too much.

Theresa May, the body count is rising under your Government.

What are you going to do about it?
