WES STREETING was criticised today for using his Labour conference speech to declare the “broken” NHS was “letting people down.”

The Health Secretary claimed “protecting the reputation of the NHS above protecting patients” was “killing it with kindness.”

Mr Streeting announced the government would be sending “crack teams of top clinicians” to hospitals nationwide, rolling out reforms to treat more patients and cut waiting lists, with the first 20 in areas with the highest numbers of people off work sick.
