The press release issued by the Liberal Democrats on 20 December 2022.

Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader and Health Spokesperson Daisy Cooper has demanded Health Secretary Steve Barclay must resolve the nurse and ambulance strikes or resign, she said:

“We are in the 11th hour to stop these strikes and if the Government doesn’t negotiate properly with nurses and ambulance services it’s real people who will pay the price.

“Steve Barclay must get round the table and resolve these strikes now.

“A Health Secretary that can’t keep ambulances running during a winter crisis is not fit for office and must resign.”
