if you do get a shot at being health secretary, you will hope, we will all hope, that by the time that happens the pandemic is receding, even if it s not over. you ll probably face, if you do become health secretary, massive waiting lists. now, this has happened before. when alan milburn was health secretary under tony blair huge waiting lists. now, he turned, where, to get them sorted? to the private sector to help. are you willing to do that? well, it s interesting, isn t it, how we come full circle? conservative governments come in, ratchet up the waiting lists, and labour goverments have to sort them out. and you re right, that s exactly where we ll end up having to be. i think there are three things at the forefront of my mind in terms of bringing down waiting lists. first is dealing with the essential workforce challenge. we went into the pandemic with the nhs with 100,000 staffing vacancies, 112,000 in social care. so, without a workforce strategy,
situation, it s because we are facing an unprecedented level of backlogs in the nhs and we do not think it is acceptable, we don t want families to be waiting years and years to get the treatment they need, we want more investment in more doctors, nurses, operations and you re doing the thing governments before us have not done which is to finally fix social care. it is always easy to dock difficult decisions but i do not think that is the responsible thing to do, i think priorities are for us to invest in the nhs and social care, and to make sure those investments are funded sustainably and that is what we are doing and we have to get on and deliver the change for people. the chancellor- labour s shadow health secretary, wes streeting, said the government had a number of challenges to make sure hospitals are safe. the fact is we went into this pandemic with nhs waiting list at record levels, 100,000 nhs left staffing vacancies and 110 social care vacancies so as notjust the
