:00:12. > :00:18.Thank you, thank you there much for inviting me to Conference. I feel
:00:19. > :00:25.very honoured to have been invited and very pleased to be here today.
:00:26. > :00:30.Because I want to thank you and everyone in the nursing profession
:00:31. > :00:34.and in the national health service for all the work that you do and the
:00:35. > :00:41.way that you often get criticised but in fact, people working in the
:00:42. > :00:44.national health service because they love their work, the profession and
:00:45. > :00:48.they basically do it because they want us all to be healthy so thank
:00:49. > :00:53.you all very much indeed for everything you do!
:00:54. > :00:58.APPLAUSE And our politicians owe you a great
:00:59. > :01:04.duty, a duty to ensure that you can work with unity and that you are not
:01:05. > :01:10.held back from providing the best possible standard of service to all
:01:11. > :01:15.occupations. Because I do understand the stress of many of you go through
:01:16. > :01:19.every day, I talk frequently to local GPs in my own area as well as
:01:20. > :01:25.nurses in my local hospital. -- your patience. I have worked with trade
:01:26. > :01:29.unions in the National Health Service and I want to outline to you
:01:30. > :01:35.today what Labour wants to offer to you in the general election. We are
:01:36. > :01:38.ready to step in and save the NHS from the cuts and privatisation that
:01:39. > :01:47.have happened over the past seven years. Everyday I ensure that our
:01:48. > :01:51.general election team is fully aware of the importance of the National
:01:52. > :01:56.Health Service, at headquarters in London the walls are decorated with
:01:57. > :02:01.original posters from the 1940s, saying, Labour's health service
:02:02. > :02:08.covers everyone. And the Tories voted against it. Nothing embodies
:02:09. > :02:13.our campaign theme for the many not the few, better than the National
:02:14. > :02:21.Health Service. Universal lifelong health care free at the point of
:02:22. > :02:24.need. However, our health service is actually being dismantled by
:02:25. > :02:29.stealth. Over the past seven years our national health service has been
:02:30. > :02:34.driven into crisis after crisis. And E departments struggling to cope,
:02:35. > :02:39.waiting lists soaring, and we saw last week, the Tory cuts have
:02:40. > :02:47.exposed patients services to cyber attack. I want to pay a huge tribute
:02:48. > :02:50.to be staff in the way they responded to this terrible cyber
:02:51. > :02:54.attack, the stress you must have faced dying to keep patients safe
:02:55. > :03:00.must have been intense and still is. This is just another example of the
:03:01. > :03:08.storm reclaims all of you go to every day to keep our country
:03:09. > :03:14.healthy. -- the extraordinary lengths. I was talking to junior
:03:15. > :03:19.doctors and nurses at the James Paget Hospital in great Yarmouth on
:03:20. > :03:23.Saturday, like many, all its operations had been cancelled
:03:24. > :03:28.because of the cyber attack, frankly it's highway robbery against all of
:03:29. > :03:32.us, we have to have their investment in our NHS to protect all the
:03:33. > :03:37.systems so we are not held to ransom by criminals who are doing us all
:03:38. > :03:42.damage and doing us all down. You stepped up to protect our patients
:03:43. > :03:53.and thank you so much for what you do. Our NHS is under threat from
:03:54. > :03:58.privatisation which was brought in by the health and is an act. The
:03:59. > :04:03.privatisation has gone on a huge scale, ?13 billion of taxpayers
:04:04. > :04:11.money handed over the last year to private companies, to profit from
:04:12. > :04:14.our NHS services. Aneurin Bevan once said of the National Health Service
:04:15. > :04:20.it will only last as long as there are folk with faith left to fight
:04:21. > :04:29.for it. I said to everyone, remember those words, those prescient words
:04:30. > :04:32.and in all my life I've involved in campaigns to support and defend the
:04:33. > :04:37.national Health Service and I know that every hospital has friends,
:04:38. > :04:42.every GP surgery has friends. There are millions of people in this
:04:43. > :04:46.country utterly determined to defend the principle of a national health
:04:47. > :05:01.service, free at the point of use for everybody in our society, we are
:05:02. > :05:04.here in Devon's legacy. -- Bevan's. In hospitals, health centres and
:05:05. > :05:08.communities across the land many people listen carefully to this
:05:09. > :05:13.election and think very carefully about their future. People for whom
:05:14. > :05:19.working in the NHS is a privilege and a pleasure. Like so many in
:05:20. > :05:23.public service every four, people work in it and believe in the
:05:24. > :05:28.principles of the NHS. A service like no other. Not a service which
:05:29. > :05:34.checks your bank balance before it checks your blood pressure. I'm
:05:35. > :05:38.always astonished when I talk to people from the United States, we
:05:39. > :05:42.talk to each other in a normal way about each other's health, that's
:05:43. > :05:44.the normal conversation, and any in the United States talk about the
:05:45. > :05:49.quality of the private health insurance they've got, they lack
:05:50. > :05:53.what we have which is one of the most civilised things about our
:05:54. > :05:55.country, but is our national health service. We are utterly determined
:05:56. > :06:03.to defend it. APPLAUSE
:06:04. > :06:11.I want to say something about the state of nursing. Britain is not
:06:12. > :06:14.being run for the many, it's not been one for the majority and across
:06:15. > :06:19.our country I believe people are being held back. If you are a
:06:20. > :06:27.student nurse without a bursary, doing a second job to make ends
:06:28. > :06:30.meet, you're being held back. If you worry about your children because
:06:31. > :06:35.they can't get together a deposit for a home or afford the deposit to
:06:36. > :06:41.rent a private lace, then you're being held back. If you manage a
:06:42. > :06:48.ward in a hospital and you can't free up beds because of the cuts in
:06:49. > :06:52.social care then you have a problem. The government is holding you back,
:06:53. > :06:58.stopping you from doing properly the job you were trained and proud to
:06:59. > :07:04.do. We either sick richest country in the world, it cannot be right
:07:05. > :07:09.that we have these problems, it cannot be right that trained nurses
:07:10. > :07:14.are leaving the profession for other jobs. -- we are at the sixth
:07:15. > :07:18.richest. It can't be right that tax giveaways for the richest and big
:07:19. > :07:22.business have been put in front of the needs of funding our national
:07:23. > :07:31.health service, social care and proper treatment for all NHS staff.
:07:32. > :07:37.The RCN, your union, has found that nursing shortages have doubled in
:07:38. > :07:44.the past four years. We could have 40,000 fewer nurses than we need by
:07:45. > :07:52.2026. Your pay has fallen 14% in real terms since 2010, and you don't
:07:53. > :07:56.work any fewer hours for it. That is the record the government has left
:07:57. > :08:00.us. I wish there could be a public debate on this record with Theresa
:08:01. > :08:03.May but she seems reluctant to have that public discussion.
:08:04. > :08:18.APPLAUSE CHEERING
:08:19. > :08:23.Last week a dog from Leeds told her she was considering quitting the NHS
:08:24. > :08:27.after 12 years of service. Because of crippling front line
:08:28. > :08:31.staff shortages which have worsened as the result of government failure
:08:32. > :08:36.to properly invest in the NHS. She asked why Jeremy Hunt had been
:08:37. > :08:40.reappointed do moralise the entire workforce, there is apparently no
:08:41. > :08:43.answer to that question, you have to apparently asked Jeremy Hunt when he
:08:44. > :08:55.makes itself available to answer questions! LAUGHTER which I'm sure
:08:56. > :09:00.is only a matter of time I'm sure, he's going to be pitching up any
:09:01. > :09:05.time soon. But we do need a government that recognises the truth
:09:06. > :09:12.of what's happening. And what is the real scale of the crisis. Because if
:09:13. > :09:16.you're a try minister in a party that once called itself the nasty
:09:17. > :09:20.party you have to wonder about their attitude towards a national Health
:09:21. > :09:25.Service and then pretend we support working people and the National
:09:26. > :09:30.Health Service. Com on, we are not fools! We need a government that
:09:31. > :09:32.will stand up for the hundreds of thousands of workers in this country
:09:33. > :09:39.who are not being paid the minimum wage, the 6 million who get less
:09:40. > :09:42.than the living wage, zero hours contracts and employment agency
:09:43. > :09:48.malpractice, we need decent working conditions for everybody in our
:09:49. > :09:54.society. Because, if you charge people tribunal fees, you cannot get
:09:55. > :09:58.justice in the workplace, I think we need a different approach to
:09:59. > :10:02.employment as a whole. And therefore, the Labour Party is
:10:03. > :10:05.putting forward a very different agenda of workers rights, employment
:10:06. > :10:10.rights, proper funding of public services in this election.
:10:11. > :10:20.APPLAUSE Can you imagine what the NHS would
:10:21. > :10:25.be like in five years' time if we carried on with this underfunding,
:10:26. > :10:33.carried on with this level of Tamara libation in the workforce? It would
:10:34. > :10:42.be unrecognisable as a National Health Service in name. Cut back,
:10:43. > :10:45.broken up and plundered by private organisations. I want to make it
:10:46. > :10:49.very clear that the Labour Party is determined to put the NHS back on
:10:50. > :10:54.its feet. To move towards a national social care service to give everyone
:10:55. > :11:00.the care and dignity they deserve. And make an outer reality of the
:11:01. > :11:12.parity of esteem between mental and physical health a reality. I feel
:11:13. > :11:17.very passionately about the NHS but I also feel very passionately about
:11:18. > :11:21.mental health services and social care services. We have 1 million
:11:22. > :11:26.people, often very vulnerable people, not getting the social care
:11:27. > :11:30.they need. Many, often women, give up jobs in order to care for elderly
:11:31. > :11:35.relatives because the service isn't there to do it for them. And our
:11:36. > :11:45.mental health service, where 6000 mental health nurses have lost their
:11:46. > :11:49.jobs in seven years, is under strain. Many of us will have some
:11:50. > :11:54.kind of mental health service in our lifetime. It is not much help if you
:11:55. > :11:57.are told to wait six months before you get any effective therapy for
:11:58. > :12:02.that crisis. I pay tribute to and thank all those that work in our
:12:03. > :12:05.mental health services but I am determined that parity of esteem
:12:06. > :12:09.will be a reality and there will be a properly funded mental health
:12:10. > :12:20.service all over this country in the future.
:12:21. > :12:27.And today we are making it very clear that we are pledging an extra
:12:28. > :12:31.7.4 billion a year for the National Health Service throughout the next
:12:32. > :12:43.Parliament, including 2 billion annually to modernise buildings and
:12:44. > :12:50.IT systems. This funding settlement will allow us to guarantee access to
:12:51. > :12:55.treatment within 18 weeks, cutting 1 million from the NHS waiting lists
:12:56. > :12:58.by the end of that Parliament, ensuring that those needing accident
:12:59. > :13:04.Emergency services are seen within four hours, helping another 1
:13:05. > :13:11.million people each year, delivering the cancer care strategy for England
:13:12. > :13:18.in fall by 2020. That will help do .5 million people who are living
:13:19. > :13:22.with cancer. -- 2.5 million people who are living with cancer. Create a
:13:23. > :13:27.new winter fund to protect patients from the problems we saw earlier
:13:28. > :13:32.this year. This is our new deal for NHS patients. It will give NHS staff
:13:33. > :13:37.the support they need and deserve to give the best possible service to
:13:38. > :13:43.patients and will guarantee that level of service. We will ensure the
:13:44. > :13:48.standards that the Conservatives have failed to deliver and which
:13:49. > :13:54.patients are legally entitled to our met in the future. But we also
:13:55. > :13:59.recognise that great services depend on retaining staff by rewarding them
:14:00. > :14:07.properly. Everyone in the NHS goes above and beyond everyday what they
:14:08. > :14:11.have to do. Your ballot result yesterday showed how angry and
:14:12. > :14:16.frustrated your members are after a 14% cut in real pay over the past
:14:17. > :14:27.seven years. We will not put you in that position. We will lift the
:14:28. > :14:41.public sector pay cap and hand back decisions on pay to an independent
:14:42. > :14:48.paid a decent wage and very paid a decent wage and very
:14:49. > :14:54.importantly we will fund training and restore the bursaries for
:14:55. > :15:05.nurses, the vital funding the Tories cut.
:15:06. > :15:14.Last week I was in Worcester talking to students nurses, those that had
:15:15. > :15:19.access to the student nurse bursary. They were telling me they had come
:15:20. > :15:23.into nursing after doing other jobs and the career paths, and they had
:15:24. > :15:30.decided they thing was there calling and they had come into it. And they
:15:31. > :15:34.-- nursing was there calling. And they told me how much they were
:15:35. > :15:38.looking forward to working in hospitals and in the community and
:15:39. > :15:42.they told me how proud they were of all of it. And I asked all of them
:15:43. > :15:46.whether they would be doing this without a nursing bursary and they
:15:47. > :15:51.said it would only be possible if you had a partner who earned enough
:15:52. > :15:56.to be able to find you through the training to become a nurse. It is
:15:57. > :16:01.utterly short-sighted and counter-productive and totally
:16:02. > :16:06.unfair on the student nurses of tomorrow, on the nursing profession
:16:07. > :16:10.of tomorrow and on the community of today. I am utterly determined we
:16:11. > :16:14.will bring back the nursing bursary so there isn't a nursing staff
:16:15. > :16:16.crisis in five years, ten years and 15 years' time. Let's invest for the
:16:17. > :16:32.future. This election will define the future
:16:33. > :16:39.of the National Health Service has almost no other has. Labour founded
:16:40. > :16:42.the National Health Service. We believe passionately and very
:16:43. > :16:48.strongly in the National Health Service and we want to restore it to
:16:49. > :16:50.good health. It is central to our ideas of transforming Britain, to
:16:51. > :16:56.create a fairer society for the many, not the few. Tomorrow we will
:16:57. > :17:05.set out our policies in full in our manifesto. You may think you've read
:17:06. > :17:13.it already! But the real one, the marked copy, will come out tomorrow
:17:14. > :17:16.morning and you will see it then. And I'm very proud of the work that
:17:17. > :17:22.has gone into that manifesto. I'm very proud of the help and support
:17:23. > :17:25.we have been given and the advice from people well beyond the Labour
:17:26. > :17:31.Party who have advised as an content to let an aspect of policy that we
:17:32. > :17:40.will be producing tomorrow. -- advised us on the content and
:17:41. > :17:45.aspects of policy. It will be fair to all aspects of our society and it
:17:46. > :17:57.will be fully costed. Every last line of it will be fully costed.
:17:58. > :18:03.Because we want to transform this country together. We do things
:18:04. > :18:07.better together. We do things better together to transform it for a
:18:08. > :18:10.better society. Only a few weeks remain to get that message across to
:18:11. > :18:14.show you how we want to hand power back to the people of this country
:18:15. > :18:19.so everyone in this country has a real stake in the future. Future,
:18:20. > :18:27.Britain, for the many, not few. I want to conclude my speech by saying
:18:28. > :18:31.this. Those that work in the NHS represent all that is good in our
:18:32. > :18:35.country and our society. NHS represents that collective endeavour
:18:36. > :18:40.to make sure that we are all able to cope with illnesses and cope with
:18:41. > :18:46.stress. But there are also aspects of inequality within our society
:18:47. > :18:50.that the NHS has got to cope with. Shorter life expectancy in the
:18:51. > :18:53.poorest parts of our country. Those that become addicted to many
:18:54. > :18:58.substances because of the misery of the lives they lead. Those that live
:18:59. > :19:03.in poor quality housing, likely to get ill. Those that go through
:19:04. > :19:07.enormous stress, likely to suffer mental health conditions. The NHS is
:19:08. > :19:13.great and it is wonderful but we also need to reform other aspects of
:19:14. > :19:18.our society so that we all lead healthier, richer lives. I am very
:19:19. > :19:22.honoured to be invited here today. I am very grateful to the work you do
:19:23. > :19:27.in keeping us healthy and I want to work with all of you in the future
:19:28. > :19:32.to improve the health, their happiness, their self-esteem and the
:19:33. > :19:34.opportunities for everybody in our society. Thank you very much for
:19:35. > :20:09.inviting me to talk to you today. Now questions? Mr Corbyn, I believe
:20:10. > :20:13.you and I both have leak issues because you have answered some of
:20:14. > :20:17.the questions we are going to ask you. I promise I didn't see them
:20:18. > :20:21.before. I am absolutely sure you didn't. Our members are well
:20:22. > :20:23.prepared, so we have got some. I would like to ask a question of you
:20:24. > :20:28.from one of our members, Clare in from one of our members, Clare in
:20:29. > :20:32.the south-east region. As nurses, why should we vote for you and have
:20:33. > :20:36.confidence in your leadership? How will you benefit our profession? I
:20:37. > :20:41.believe strongly in the National Health Service. Thank you for your
:20:42. > :20:45.question, Clare. I believe that the NHS has got to be always free at the
:20:46. > :20:48.point of use. I believe that nurses have got to be properly treated and
:20:49. > :20:55.that is why I have outlined our proposal bringing back the nurse
:20:56. > :20:59.bursary but also bringing back the ability of all unions in the NHS to
:21:00. > :21:05.negotiate pay and conditions by lifting the public sector pay cap.
:21:06. > :21:10.There is also the question of the protection of staff within our NHS
:21:11. > :21:14.and staffing levels within the NHS, and we will ensure that there is a
:21:15. > :21:20.legally enforceable staffing level in hospitals, because many of you
:21:21. > :21:24.work very hard, and I suspect pretty well everyone in this conference
:21:25. > :21:27.centre today often works well beyond the hours that you are paid for
:21:28. > :21:33.because you won't leave until the patient has been settled, until a
:21:34. > :21:38.bed has been found, until the next stage of treatment has been dealt
:21:39. > :21:40.with. And the stress levels within NHS staff are absolutely huge
:21:41. > :21:49.because you believe and care about it. It is up to us as politicians
:21:50. > :21:52.who want to see a good NHS to make sure that you have the funding and
:21:53. > :21:59.resources to deliver the service and I am determined that we will do just
:22:00. > :22:12.that. Thank you. Will you take two questions? Of course. Ed and Coral.
:22:13. > :22:18.Good morning, Mr Corbyn. I am the voting member and the chair of the
:22:19. > :22:23.RCN mental health Forum. You have answered my question in part but I
:22:24. > :22:27.would like to ask you how you will as Prime Minister or in opposition,
:22:28. > :22:32.hopefully not, protect and promote the needs of people experiencing
:22:33. > :22:44.mental illness and will you appoint a minister for mental health? Coral,
:22:45. > :22:50.voting member, children and young people's acute-care forum. How will
:22:51. > :22:54.your party generate the money the NHS needs to function and develop
:22:55. > :23:00.the services everyone in this room believes the public has a right to
:23:01. > :23:04.expect. Thank you for both of those questions. Ed, first of all, on the
:23:05. > :23:16.issues of mental health, yes, there will be a mental health ministers
:23:17. > :23:19.specifically dedicated towards that. Because if parity of esteem which
:23:20. > :23:23.was one of the amendments to the health and social care bill is to
:23:24. > :23:27.mean anything then it has got to be chased all the way through this
:23:28. > :23:32.system. It is also a question of attitudes in society as well. I
:23:33. > :23:38.would want a minister for mental health services to also be looking
:23:39. > :23:48.at school mental health services, college mental health services,
:23:49. > :23:52.workplace mental health services. It is also about our attitudes in
:23:53. > :23:59.society because the stigma attached to those going through stress in
:24:00. > :24:03.society is horrible. Often it means career paths are damaged as a result
:24:04. > :24:07.of it. I think we have got to be serious about this as society. I
:24:08. > :24:11.have talked to a lot of young people who go through a lot of stress and
:24:12. > :24:14.frightened to talk about it. They are frightened they are going to be
:24:15. > :24:19.labelled and they are frightened that they won't be able to get any
:24:20. > :24:25.help. Too many end up taking their own lives because they are in a
:24:26. > :24:27.desperate and lonely place. We need to have a change of attitude as
:24:28. > :24:31.as proper funding, and I want to see as proper funding, and I want to see
:24:32. > :24:36.that we actually do achieve that, and that is why I have appointed
:24:37. > :24:40.Shadow Cabinet member to deal with mental health issues around the
:24:41. > :24:50.Shadow Cabinet table. I take it very, very seriously indeed. Thank
:24:51. > :24:53.you very much for your question. Coral's question about children and
:24:54. > :25:01.young people and the funding of the NHS. All our proposals are fully
:25:02. > :25:04.costed and fully funded. They all rely on either moving existing
:25:05. > :25:11.budgets or changing taxation levels for corporate and the very top end
:25:12. > :25:15.of our society. 95% of people in this country will have no tax
:25:16. > :25:20.increase, no National Insurance increase, no VAT increase by us. We
:25:21. > :25:23.want to make sure there is a redistribution of wealth. It can't
:25:24. > :25:28.be right that we live in a country where the richest 100 people have
:25:29. > :25:30.assets of 600 billion. It can't be right. I want to see a fair
:25:31. > :25:38.We will give of the statements and distribution of our wealth.
:25:39. > :25:43.We will give of the statements and details are not tomorrow but we are
:25:44. > :25:48.very, very clear, we want to be a responsible government, responsible
:25:49. > :25:51.to the people of this country, responsible for and in public
:25:52. > :25:54.services in an efficient, effective way to helping people they are
:25:55. > :25:57.designed to help and support, and support, and the NHS is the best
:25:58. > :26:05.example of that. Thank you. APPLAUSE
:26:06. > :26:13.Matthew Sidebottom and can I have surely tears. Matthew. Matthew
:26:14. > :26:18.Sidebottom Sheffield branch. I'm now expected to work in this demanding
:26:19. > :26:22.job until I'm 68. You think this assay for my patients, for me, and
:26:23. > :26:29.not, what are you going to do about it?
:26:30. > :26:42.APPLAUSE Shelley...
:26:43. > :26:52.Heidi, become. From the south-east region, it can be restart work to
:26:53. > :27:03.set save staffing levels for all health settings? -- safe staffing
:27:04. > :27:09.levels. Yes, on Matthew's question, I think 68, as they say is too late!
:27:10. > :27:17.And going to have to ask you to be very patient for another 24 hours.
:27:18. > :27:24.LAUGHTER you don't look anywhere near 68 to me either. You wouldn't
:27:25. > :27:29.want to disappoint all these nurses. The media will keep a secret! I know
:27:30. > :27:37.there's nobody else watching or listening. I will let you know
:27:38. > :27:40.later. OK. You're absolutely right, I get that, you will to wait until
:27:41. > :27:53.tomorrow for that but I do recognise the stress levels that have gone
:27:54. > :27:59.with so many and the way in which the WASPI women have been
:28:00. > :28:05.short-changed. Shelley, your point about staffing levels is so true, I
:28:06. > :28:08.referred to it about hospitals in my speech, they are often quite
:28:09. > :28:12.dangerous and it means nurses can't do their jobs properly because they
:28:13. > :28:18.don't have time to talk to patients and actually, you all know this,
:28:19. > :28:23.when you go into hospital it's a frightening thing, they want to be
:28:24. > :28:26.able to discuss the condition and what so many people who have been in
:28:27. > :28:32.hospital say to me is, they are full of aberration for the nurses and all
:28:33. > :28:36.the staff in the hospital, recognise how hard-working they are but they
:28:37. > :28:40.don't have time to talk to the patient and understand the holistic
:28:41. > :28:44.person there in front of them and so say first Ave levels are important
:28:45. > :28:48.to cover all the obvious needs of their also important for the
:28:49. > :28:51.well-being of the patient. We want to legislate to insure it staffing
:28:52. > :28:56.levels maintained in hospitals but directed nice the staffing issues
:28:57. > :29:03.that apply in the community, apply in mental health particularly also
:29:04. > :29:10.apply in GPs surgeries. Because... If you're understaffed in a mental
:29:11. > :29:16.health unit and you don't have time to talk to the people you are there
:29:17. > :29:21.to look after, things can become very, very difficult and it actually
:29:22. > :29:28.puts the understaffed people on duty often at risk, as a result of that
:29:29. > :29:31.so I'm very clear, I do, I think and hope I understand the situation
:29:32. > :29:36.which is why I want to put all these resources into the NHS to ensure
:29:37. > :29:41.proper, fair and safe staffing levels all across and we will do
:29:42. > :29:51.that. APPLAUSE
:29:52. > :29:55.I am aware of time, I have one last question and it would be remiss if I
:29:56. > :29:59.didn't Arscott, this is an half of you all, as a Labour Party man of an
:30:00. > :30:07.entire lifetime and someone who has worked with trade unions, I'm full
:30:08. > :30:11.of aberration for you as an organisation and a union. For what
:30:12. > :30:16.you've done and what you represent. -- admiration. The professional
:30:17. > :30:19.aspect of your work and the work done by the Royal Oak all which
:30:20. > :30:24.helps Ospreys our thoughts and policies. I fully understand the
:30:25. > :30:29.momentous decision you taken because you been so badly treated by the
:30:30. > :30:34.last few years with frozen pay, overwork, under staffing levels and
:30:35. > :30:37.the threat of the sustainability and transformation plans around the
:30:38. > :30:41.hospitals which by the way, John Ashworth said and I fully support,
:30:42. > :30:44.he wants to suspend and look at again so we can ensure there is
:30:45. > :30:56.proper accident and emergency access all across the country. -- the Royal
:30:57. > :30:58.Oak in which helps us frame. While Germany Hungary Main Secretary of
:30:59. > :31:04.State I hope you will take heed of the decision you've taken, take heed
:31:05. > :31:09.and recognise you deserve to be properly rewarded for what you do,
:31:10. > :31:13.for all of us. Thank you for your decision yesterday, thank you for
