Show Notes

This week in the run-up to election day, we’re taking a deeper look at three of the biggest issues for voters: taxes & the economy, immigration - and today, it’s the turn of the NHS. 


Strikes, waiting lists, lack of funding, not enough GP appointments, dentists appointments, or mental health services - they’re all issues that never seem to be out of the news. 


Experts have been sounding the alarm that the NHS is in crisis for years now, so what will whoever wins the general election and makes up the next government, do to improve the situation for our much-loved health care system? 


The Standard’s Health Reporter, Daniel Keane, shares his insight.
