Theresa May tries to flog her NHS Long Term plan at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool today

TRADE unions condemned Theresa May today for failing to take seriously the “staffing black hole” in the NHS.

Unions GMB and Unite have criticised the Prime Minister’s “10-year plan” for the NHS for failing to take stock of the current health service employment crisis.

At the plan’s launch at Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital today Ms May promised an extra £20 billion of NHS funding by 2023-24.
