The Labour leaders says NHS staff in England will volunteer for longer hours to cut waiting lists.
Doctors and nurses will volunteer for weekend work to bring down waiting lists if they are paid more overtime, Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC.
"They are up for this because they know that bringing down waiting lists will relieve pressure on them in the long run," he told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire."You don't need to change the contract because we will be paying them proper rates out of hours," he said. "I am confident we will get that growth. It is the single defining mission of an incoming Labour government," Sir Keir said.
