He said: ‘When you’re stretched, you get to a tipping point and then the whole service gets demoralised, and then doctors and nurses begin to leave because it’s not a good working environment, and then there are more gaps in the rota and then you’re more stretched.‘You see how that cycle of degradation happens and that’s the sad thing, I’ve watched that happen over a number of years in the NHS under this government.
‘Both times I’ve done it, people afterwards have said ‘thank you so much, that was really great’ and we’ve started talking.
