By implying that the NHS isn’t there for you in an emergency Jeremy Hunt may have put patients at risk - Heidi Alexander
Heidi Alexander MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, responding to a study published in the British Medical Journal on the “Hunt effect”, said:
“These worrying findings should make Jeremy Hunt stop and think about the unintended consequences of his rhetoric on the NHS.
“As the study suggests, Jeremy Hunt’s actions may have put patients at risk and potentially caused unnecessary harm.
“To imply that the NHS isn’t there for you in an emergency is not only completely wrong, but highly irresponsible.
“Jeremy Hunt should now issue clear advice to patients that if they need urgent medical help they should seek it without delay, regardless of the day of the week.”
