The health secretary claims the disparate level of emergency cover during recent ambulance strikes could not be"relied upon to ensure patient and public safety".
In a letter to the GMB union, seen by Sky News, ahead of further strikes this month, Steve Barclay accepted all areas that staged walkouts ensured the most serious 999 calls were still answered. But he said the lack of cover for category two calls - which includes strokes and chest pain - in some areas were"material to the risk to life of the strike action".
Mr Barclay criticised the"volatile" assurances given to him about cover by trade unions, claiming the"scope and extent of arrangements [was] being disputed right up to wire". While he believed in the right to strike and that"a certain amount of disruption is inherent" during walkouts, he said that"during recent action I have not been reassured that the current system of voluntary arrangements can be relied upon to ensure patient and public safety".
Maybe if conservative MPs paid their taxes there would be money in the pot to give a much needed pay rise to nurses and paramedics nadhimzahawi
The present government putting the whole of the NHS at risk
You and your government continuously put public safety at risk 😡
we’re at risk when they’re not on strike! What does it matter!
The service levels of the nhs during the Tory governments reign have put the public and employees at risk
You would be forgiven for thinking SteveBarclay was in opposition, zero accountability ToriesDestroyingOurNHS
When is this person and the incompetent government he serves going to STOP Gaslighting the British people.
Correction, 'Democidal Tory government puts public safety at risk'. The usual self awareness.
No, that would be 12 years of Conservative mismanagement
This govt has been putting public safety at risk for years, stop blaming the ambulance workers.
stevebarclay dosen't want to accept that for most of the time the dying & injured can't get an ambulance. When this puppets have sacked them for striking, who is going to drive them? Conservatives are all about destroying our NHS.
And government hasn’t played no part in the past 13 years ? Eh
Poor service levels due to poor investment and low pay is the norm. That’s why they’re striking. It’s not rocket science.
Breaking news ? You're having a laugh .... you've just become a Tory propaganda machine.
And what about on non-strke days, Steve Barklay....?
Pay them properly then - problem solved. He doesn’t realise that while trying to shame ambulance workers he’s actually shaking himself and this disgusting government.
And everyday whilst the country continues under its current leadership.
The conservatives put ppl at risk every day
Just like service levels during non strike days.
So does Conservatives incompetence and fraud. What's his point?
What about the public being at risk when they are not on strike SteveBarclay ? It's on you.
It’s not the strikes, it’s the Tory Government playing at being tough is putting public safety at risk. Perhaps we should introduce laws to curb the Tory Party from its actions & sack those MP’s who support such propaganda.
But the public are at risk on non strike days too, and have been for most of the year. Any ideas why Mr Barclay?
Government failure to invest in the NHS and Public Services is what costs lives!
Your headline is l wrong I’ll reword it for you. SteveBarclay puts public safety at risk.
The public shouldn’t have to deal with the instability of ambulance strikes and think twice weather help is on the way.
The government starving the NHS of money so it can privatise it puts public safety at much more risk.
What is he on about? People wait 12 hours for ab ambulance when there aren't any strikes.
Yes let more people into the country so the whole world can leech on to the NHS
Well then he should pay them what they're worth!
'Tories out public at safety risk' I fixed it for you
And the rest of the time? SteveBarclay what about the rest of the time we do t have enough staff or ambulances?
People aren't safe when the strikes aren't going on. No hospital beds and no ambulances. What does he plan on doing about that?
Public have been at risk since 2010.
Probably should have done a deal, then.
Government will say anything. It won't work SteveBarclay service has been in crisis for months not just while staff on strike. Relative had asthma attack a year ago. Got advised to take her to hospital as no Ambulance available. Wish Government would put people first.
Just playing politics when there's lives on the line. Doesn't surprise me
Steve feck’n Barclay says. He’s a feck’n joke.
Current service levels outside the strike out public safety at risk say Drs, Nurses, Paramedics, and anyone with a brain. What did that? 13 years of Conservative government.
Service levels when ambulance crews are NOT on strike are even more concerning, that's why the ambulance crews are striking!!!
No shit, Sherlock. Oh my!
This government puts the public at risk
Called an ambulence at 4 pm on Friday for a suspected heart attack and it showed up at 3 am on Saturday morning!
SteveBarclay is the one putting public safety at risk
Only nutters listen to Barclay
Service levels while Gov working doing the same thing,Our futures are at risk daily,
Worse minister in political history 1000 people losing their Loved ones, weekly, because of his govts political choices, yet seeking to talk about productivity
Tory government puts whole fucking country at risk !!!! 😒 ToryScumOut
Thirteen years...
Breaking News: Service levels during 13 years of tory mismanagement, privatisation and corruption have, and continue to put public safety at risk
The Tory's are killing people, not the doctors and nurses. Wanker.
. If Steve Barclay & his Gov colleagues had commenced talks with unions & acknowledged the plight of NHS workers strikes may have been avoided. They have been covering emergencies anyway. Thanks to the crew who helped our family member this week
So do our uk government
Yes - how is this “Breaking News…” That’s why they’re striking - it creates pressure on the govt to concede. But what will 19% for nurses, 26% for junior doctors, then the police, fire service, the whole military, council workers even look like to national finances…
Public safety is already at risk.
Rhe. He needs to settle. However he wasn’t complaining when hundreds of ambulances are stuck at A&E and not available to respond because the poor government actions re the NHS. Let’s start to spend at the EU14 and have at least £40bn more to help and stop the ban on foreigners.
Can I correct this please? Voting Tory puts public safety at risk. Sorted.
And it’s about the same on non strike days. Will ministerial heads roll? 😂😂😂😂
When I cease hearing of people waiting 8 hours on non strike days, then I'll listen to Barclay.
Read somewhere that on strike days there were actually more ambulances on duty because they know how to organise service levels, lol
He doesn't seem to care about non strike days.
I'm no Tory and will never vote for them, but these strikes are always at hardest times of the year. The union's don't care about the public. As to the staff working, everyone would like a bloody pay rise, if you don't like the terms then find another job that pays more
Really your party the tory party have put people at risk stop telling lies
Having a Tory govt puts the whole country at risk. Incompetent, self seeking bully boys that are only concerned with making as much money as they can whilst curbing our civil liberties
No different to normal then!!
I doubt we will notice.
Service levels during normal, day to day, life put public safety at risk. Corrected that for you SteveBarclay
Pay them more then!
Of course he does
SteveBarclay you’re the one risking their lives pay NHSuk what the deserve you twot
Talk about cognitive dissonance - Barclay has got it down to a fine art. ToriesAreToxic
Steve Barclay is a professional liar. thatisall
So does 12 yrs of Tories in gov SteveBarclay
Category 1 calls actually had a better response time during the strike. These are the most urgent patients and were treated faster due to the skill and dedication of the ambulance service It is the criminal tories that are killing people with their mismanagement or the NHS
If only someone like Steve Barclay worked in an institution that could have averted the strikes... Oh wait...
But the truth is Tories are putting public safety at risk not ambulance service. They greed, corruption and lack of accountability are the main reasons for the failure.
What about all the people who've died waiting for an ambulance because they've allowed the service to deteriorate when there's no strikes? Why is barclay and this tory govt not being held accountable for those deaths.
Uk become a 3th country
In other news the titanic sunk !!
Tories have been putting at risk for 13 years & have total destroyed it! That accountability for party’s action!
So every none strike day hasn’t?
Thanks to - the government
Disgusting humans them Tories and their supporters.
The perception of Steve Barclay is mind numbing. Do MPs get paid for these stunning observations.
Well that is Steve’s fault. Useless health minister
Conveniently ignoring who is to blame for the state the NHS is in.
…not to mention service levels before and after the strike…
Tories in government put public safety at risk.
That’s not breaking news, it’s carefully timed propaganda.
Having a Tory government puts public safety and health at risk.
It's a pity this never made much news coverage.... The Nazis killed considerably less Brits in WW2
The Tory government's fault.
They're unsafe any day of the week and have been for some time- thanks to the Tories.
So does the continued underfunding by your vile government SteveBarclay
The Conservatives are the biggest risk to the public and the biggest problem the UK has.
Conservatives put the safety of the public at risk
What about non strike days the public are at risk. Due to 12 years of Tory underfunding and mismanagement it is nothing to do with striking workers.
SteveBarclay let's correct that...services levels full stop put public safety at risk
so, we are mostly Always under strength in policing, but that seems to be OK with this government ..how is that not putting public safety at risk?
How about instead of helping that Tory scum Steve Barkley push his parties narrative of vilifying the strikers you actually start holding them to account for the mess they've made of everything over the last decade
He should pay them a decent wage then
What do doctors say? WGAF what Barclay says?
So the service levels before the strike were acceptable?
Forcing NHS staff to get the toxic jab to keep their job also put public safety at risk but toxic . ignore this in case they lise their globalist funding. No credibility, no truth, just lies and propaganda.
Nothing has jeopardised public safety more than politicians' attitudes toward working people who are struggling to make ends meet for no fault of their own.
Rubbish they are professionals, goverment well crooks
Public safety is already at risk because of how shambolic the service is. Ain’t cos of the strikes SteveBarclay
Cranking up the demonising rhetoric because that's all Barclay's got now
pay them then and save lives
It’s crazy how quickly all the MPs vote to give themselves a pay rise with no arguments but heaven forbid anyone else wanting one it’s like someone swapped out the ham in there sandwich and replace it with dog s**t
Errrrr nope
What about on the other days?
Unlike the government, and the media , we don’t conveniently forget that ambulances were queuing long before any industrial action…Fits his narrative nicely don’t you think?
With queues of ambulances outside hospital waiting hours to hand over patients they are no worse than non strike days!
The public have been at risk for many many months because you lot are crap
Should change this around “Steve Barclay, puts public safety at risk, for not investing in ambulance service”
Tories being in power put us all at risk. Time for a general election
Nothing like trying to pass the blame. The public are not fooled anymore by this lot.
You only have to look at NHS before conservatives came to power and now look at it
It’s a simple fix Steve, pay them what they are worth and suddenly staffing levels will rise because it becomes attractive to work for the NHS, we can find money for other countries when there is a crisis, the NHS is in a crisis and you are responsible,not the overworked staff!
12 years of Tory rule has put public safety at risk
Get it right HE'S putting public safety at risk 😡
Opinion- not fact and not worthy of BREAKING NEWS banner . This government puts our public safety at risk every day they remain in office ! Why don't you BREAKING NEWS that?
Service levels in a Tory run government has put public safety at risk for 13 years and counting
Service levels before and after the strikes are putting public safety at risk. Excessive waiting times as have been a norm for years now. The Tories are putting public safety at risk.
Service levels in the country is well below public safety, for 10 years+ should sack the people in charge, GeneralElectionNow
Steve Barclay is lying 🤥
So says the politicians, the Green lovers and everyone that want to see people broke and begging! So the strike is everyones fault!
Breaking news for SteveBarclay the present government are putting lives at risk because they're not sorting out the chaos they've caused within the NHS. There are no ambulances due to them all queuing with patients in car parks waiting to get them in the hospital.
More nonsense from his trap 🙄
SteveBarclay and Conservatives policies have meant service levels have been dangerous for years - before Covid. Due to wage cuts, personnel leaving, and no investment in social care means ambulances stuck outside hospitals, unable to unload patients. Nothing to do with strikes.
All caused SteveBarclay
1..they didn't, they were better than non strike days. 2 RESIGN.
13 years of Tory austerity puts nobody at risk 🤷♂️
Not giving them the pay put lives at risk.
Same as any day over the last 13 years 🤦♂️
'Tory repeats Tory talking point' isn't really 'breaking news'.
SteveBarclay knows damn well that every day puts public safety at risk. He also knows the responsibility for that lies firmly with the Conservatives He can stick his gaslighting where even a nurse would struggle to retrieve it from. Absolutely bloody vile! ToriesCostLives
So give them a payrise, Ste is a Nazi
I think perhaps you need to look at the service levels everyday and the people dying because ambulance spends hours on end queuing in A&Es - the reason for the striking !!!! 🤬
So then pay them more - govt are to blame here!
And in normal periods ?
They did before.
Public at risk on non strike days, STOP PUSHING TORY PROPAGANDA
Torries the biggest risk to any public service.
Our NHS has fallen behind other G7 economies, that is where the problem lies.
General Genocide Johnson’s ‘ Let the Bodies Pile High’ policy put lives at risk and worse. Barclay can do one and skulk back to his rats nest.
NHS is fucked
They were at risk prior to the strike action? That's one of the reasons they're striking..
Steve Barclay puts public safety at risk, says British nation.
Oh blah ... SteveBarclay took weeks off over Christmas ... ambulance workers didn't ... i support the ambulance strikes
UK Gov and Barclay’s Lack of respect for NHS workers to pay them what they deserve cause service levels to drop and put public lives at risk. Fixed it for you NHSStrikes supportNHS
The Tories policies and underfunding have killed hundreds of thousands. What does big Steve have to say about that?
Can someone let mr Barclay know they are shite with or without strikes The biggest threat to our lives is this Tory party the greed has asset stripped our country No one vote for sunak enough is enough general election now
No surprise there, staff is overworked and underpaid, time Steve Barclay has a serious discussion on pay. Staff is needed to run the services and needs to be properly paid.
Well get round the tablet till you agree
What about the normal days? 🙈
He would.
Tories are putting the public at risk! THE TORIES!!!
Tories put public safety at risk.
Thousands of excess deaths but this is what the client media is running with.
Next up Steve Barclay ckaims ot goes dark when the sun goes down. Just in you get wet if you get in a bath of water
Steve Barclay is malevolent vermin who kills people every day just to line his own pockets, ambulance staff are heroes thanks.
Circular argument, current service levels put public at risk, strike is about improving service levels and attracting adequate staff to provide that service.
I think that's literally the point.
The Tory’s put peoples lives at risk every day for the last 12 years in power
Steven Barclay and this bloody government are what’s putting people’s lives at risk, and quite deliberately too.
His government put people at risk
Well,he’s a liar.
Diminished service levels after 13 years of Tory rule put public safety at risk* fixed it for you
Tory underfunding puts public safety at risk.
And Sunak And yourself Do as well,10% Might fix it.🤙
Not as much as Tory incompetence
The public have been put at risk for a long time before the strikes, which is exactly why ambulance staff have been forced to strike. Voting Tory is a serious risk to your health.
janwaspi Service levels under this government daily!
*Tories being in goverment put public lives at risk.
No shit, Sherlock!!! Then stop taking them for granted, and pay them for their work.
No Steve you put lives at risk by refusing to negotiate !!!
Really
Pay them strikes stop 🤷♂️🤷♂️
No shit Sherlock....lol
Voting Tory put public safety at risk
Well if all of em stopped the devious and fiddling to line their already padded pockets there would be money for essential services. It’s not a difficult concept for the honest public anyway
He is to blame
Maybe they should pay ambulance staff an acceptable wage with regular rises in line with inflation then
No shit 🤡
Mr Barclays is not all safety with low level if staffing working
What about during non strike days when they’re outside A&E’s for a whole shift?
Stephen Barclay’s government’s destruction of the NHS is putting everyone in danger every day. How dare he?!
But he’s not bothered about all the other days. Doesn’t fit the agenda.
Steve Barclay not negotiating is putting public safety at risk
*Having a Tory government puts public safety at risk
Why is Sky news focusing on the Government point of view and not holding the Government to account. It is the Government that has declined the NHS and it ties in with their desire to not have any public services through the tax system. Strange coincidence. This happened before!
At all times SteveBarclay - that's one of the reasons they are striking.
Not much different to 'normal' service actually. I had to call an ambulance for my neighbour. It arrived, eventually, despite the strike. She was treated over Christmas and New Year, and is back home, well once more. This is the NORM, not the exception.
Down to you Barclay - own it!!
Service levels when there are no strikes put people at risk thanks to Tory mismanagement
Oh, now they give a fuck?
Where as the tories put the public at risk daily
So does understaffed and over used hospitals.
He missed 'and non-strike days'
What an absolute crock SteveBarclay Perhaps if the tories had taken such an interest in NHS service provision on non-strike days it wouldn’t be in state it is now. This is spin to make public opinion hostile of hard working staff taking the ultimate stand to try & make a change
Service levels are putting public safety at risk every day not just strike days
Does SteveBarclay think the public are safe on non strike days ?Lack of staff,lack of beds,people waiting hours for an ambulance,waiting to be discharged from the ambulance to hospital/left in corridors,people awaiting discharge,these things are happening on non strike days.
What about service levels on non strike days. Typical Tory ignoring the real world to push an agenda.
Easy pay them the wage they deserve And stop fucking about and then you’d have no worries about them being on strike
Steve Barclay and this horrendous government are trying to make the general public blame the paramedics and nurses for wanting a decent wage to be able to afford to live. He and the tories are ghouls who are completely detached from the general public. Utter utter buffoons
No shit.
12 years of their shite more so
Having a Conservatives government puts people's lives in risk.
Steve Barclay is putting further life's in danger every day, and his boss Rishi sunak is allowing it to happen
13 years of Tory government has put public safety at risk BloodOnYourHands
Government should pay them a decent wage then
I don’t know how they dare.
But the government are fine with keeping the NHS understaffed and underfunded any other time…
Blood on the hands of the government
Tory Government’s always put the publics safety at risk but as usual Tory Governments blame everyone else!
Bring down the wages of the overpaid public employees this includes all publicly paid services, so the working staff get a decent wage.
Service levels by the government put public safety at risk.
Well I actually saw more ambulances during the strike than on an average day out on the road for work
SteveBarclay The country is falling apart under this non elected Government
SteveBarclay RishiSunak Conservatives 13yrs of tory governments have caused deaths and suffering on a massive scale, stop passing the blame, accept your failings, your greed and call a GeneralElectionNow EnoughIsEnough ToriesOut
What about on non strike days?, what about when the government ordered the ambulance service to transport covid patients to care homes, killing thousands in the process, people like SteveBarclay who live in the world's biggest glass house, shouldn't throw stones
Mr Barclay neglected to mention that service levels put public safety at risk EVERY DAY under his leadership and that of his predecessors for the last 12 years.
Pay them the wage they deserve then, you privileged prick.
No his government made service levels unsafe years ago. Nobody is buying your disingenuous propaganda.
Start paying them what they deserve then. It’s quite simple
SteveBarclay service levels when ambulance drivers weren’t striking already out patients at risk. You’re a charlatan. Try telling the truth furnished, you might find it refreshing
Steve Barclay puts public safety at risk is an entirely more accurate statement.
Absolutely....so give them the pay rise they deserve 👏
As SteveBarclay & RishiSunak are in charge of the NHS and after the unfortunate death of the elderly lady at Torbay hospital, there should be Accountability and these two should face charges
Service levels pre strikes put lives at risk tell him to watch ambulance on the BBC then he might begin to understand its years of underfunding and piss poor planning for brexit that has caused this fiasco
Barclay talking out his arse as usual.
What can any tory Health Minister possibly know about adequate service levels?
Under the Tories, service levels for the last 13 years have put lives at risk every single day. It's not striking workers. ToryLies ToriesOut192
Yeah, because service levels are running at a hundred percent without the strikes. Get in the bin Barclay ya gaslighting tw
In other NEWS the Health Secretary Defacto the Tory Govt are putting everyones lives at risk by refusing to negotiate with their representatives. Over 100,000 NHS vacancies a crisis 13 years in the making by this utterly useless Govt, for everyone's sake we need an election NOW !
Oh he does does he. What about before strikes? After strikes? Exactly the same level right? Why not follow his ridiculous statement with true balance from someone that ACTUALLY knows what they are talking about and ACTUALLY cares.
Conservatives put public safety at risk, Steve Barclay says.
All part of the grand Tory NHSPrivatisation plan. SaveOurNHS
You're underfunding is putting the nation at risk, 6miliion home due the the borders bill, 60 000 redundant because of mandatory vaccination hence the shortage of staff did I do my maths right just checking for a friend 🤷♂️
These pictures were taken before any strikes!!It’s the Tory government who are putting people’s lives at risk with lack of funding to the social care system. They don’t listen and they don’t care!
Tories refusing to negotiate put public safety at risk The Public says
Pay them more then,or did you think banging pots and pans would be enough. Quick to give yourselves a rise you useless waste of skin
Wow Steve Barclay said that? I'm stunned
When it’s raining u might get wet, obvious statement by Govt minister.
They are at risk now, so how come the Government aren’t doing anything about that.
Pay them properly, the country says .
You have money for Ukraine but…
Service levels previous to the strike’s have been putting lives at risk
Service levels not on strike days put lives at risk. 13 years of Tory rule will do that to a country
Public was at risk beforehand. What difference does it make.
Himself and the Tory government have continually put public service at risk for the last 13 years.
Sort it out then Barclay, it's your job.
I have a better headline “Government service during the last 12 years in charge put the country at risk!” Failure government ToriesDestroyingOurCountry
What are the govt NHS service levels pre the ambulance strike. Did the Govt meet those service levels
Same is applicable when the service is not striking….Ambulance service is rotten to the core and cannot be depended on.
What about public safety when there aren't striking eh Steve? TOTALLY missing the point, what a tit! 😡
He is still trying to turn the public against the nurses. Safety standards have been gone for a long time. After breaking my tib & fib 3 years ago I waited 3 hours for an ambulance. Okay not the most serious injury but an indication of things to come.
Service levels when there are no strikes are putting public safety at risk. stevebarclay attempting to shift the blame onto the people who are telling him about the problem they are striking about. Despicable. Clueless. Incompetent.
Just making sure he hears it - service levels when they aren’t on strike are a risk. The Tories are a shambles.
No, Steve and the cons have put public at risk, for around 12 years already.
Tories put public at risk says public.👍
So they're pretty essential then? Don't remember public safety being risked by a banker not getting a stupidly generous bonus. Priorities in this world are screwed. Award them pay that cancels out the real terms loss over past decade. Do it now & don't let it get this bad again.
Stop saying this and sort it!
And during non strike days? What a load of tosh that men talks*. *normal for Tories.
What a joke Baker and the Tories are. The health of people has been are serious risk since 2010, due to the Tories underfunding and staff crisis in the NHS and caused by brexit. Blame the Tories and not the NHS.
Nonsense. This has been like this for years
SteveBarclay puts public safety at risk every day. What’s the story here?
The onus is on the health secretary to get a deal done to avert the strikes and then start getting proper funding for the NHS so that more doctors, nurses, paramedics, porters, cleaners and any other staff can be employed to allow the hospitals to run properly. SupportTheNHS
It's simple SteveBarclay RishiSunak get negotiating to sort this matter out. It's blood on your hands whilst u drag it out over a long period. It's enevertable u will have to negotiate something in the long term, but suffering is happening now. Your party is useless!!!
The Government puts this country at risk
Service levels during no strikes put public safety at risk, the rest of us say.
You being Health Secretary, puts the public safety at risk.
Understaffing causes poor service levels and puts patients at risk at all times. And it is Steve Barclays failure.
As opposed to patients dying on non strike days anyway because of the government’s failure to invest in the NHS which we pay for !
You misspelled *Tory rule
A waste of oxygen.
Service levels after a decade of Tory rule but public safety at risk.
I'm on the side of the nurses, and ambulance staff.
Well he would say that wouldn’t he 🤷♀️ lies
Wait until he sees the level of service when strikes don't happen. Can't wait for him to fix this now he has seen how bad it is......🙈
What about the none strike days when you can’t get an ambulance? 🤔 I guess that kind of doesn’t fit with Barclay’s anti union rhetoric does it! GeneralElectionNow
Steve Barclay put public safety at risk by causing ambulance strikes, anybody with an ounce of logic says
Public safety at risk during ambulance strike says Steve Barclay, well we say, public safety is at Risk every day under the current tory government Steve
Not as much as a Tory government does. First time a government has presided over a reduction in life expectancy
Steve Barclay is putting public safety at risk, him and all the other Tories
No different to any other day at the moment! A 90 minute plus wait for an ambulance in relation to heart attacks and strokes is putting public safety at risk. Trying to deflect from what is the norm! Awful!
. SteveBarclay and the corrupt Tory party have made NHS service levels so poor that the public are at risk. There. Fixed it for you
'Service levels during periods of Tory government put public safety at risk' There, fixed it for you.
Steve Barclay is putting public safety at risk.
If the Tory ministers were paying their taxes they could afford to negotiate a decent NHS pay rise.
Just goes to show how important they are then doesn't it.
SteveBarclay puts public safety at risk by being a Tory
Not nearly as much as a Tory government does
They really aren’t listening are they
Barclay’s putting us all at risk!
But when we don't have strikes we wanting is the same! Who do we have to blame? Of course, conservative incompetence, corruption and much more. Instead of using immigration as an excuse for the countries’ problems, please accept that Brexit is the root of this chaos.
Yeah breaking news for sure…
What was yesterdays excuse or todays?
Pompous to think that his idea of action will resolve the crisis.. no one will train for a job like this in the future- staff will decrease- privatisation will be there answer- shameful to not negotiate properly!
During the strikes? See my pinned tweet, this has been going on for years under tory mismanagement.
He should tell his mates to pay their proper tax, and give all the Ppe money back and then there will be enough to pay them a decent pay rise
Conservative's mismanagement, underfunding of emergency services and demonisation of public service workers puts public safety at risk. Fixed it for you.
13 years of Tories put us all at risk. Ask him how many dead under Tory austerity and then some? This is on the Tories heads and also MSM because you people drip feed this bull instead of calling it out for what it is.
And that's the fault of his government for not funding the NHS properly, for Kwartangs budget. Wasting billions on pointless schemes and corruption
Ffs sack Steve Barclay already he’s as much use as a handbrake in a canoe
Government inaction from politicians who don’t give a fuck have put patients care at risk!
On any other day he doesn’t give a fig about safety.
Have a wee chat with Michelle Moan in that case... or Nadhim or Apple or Google! Or any Tory!! Go collect some taxes and pay them sufficiently! FFS fed up with this lot now!
The Tories have been putting public safety at risk since 2010, so Steve Barclay can take his opinion and shove it where the sun don't shine. How is this man even in government?
SteveBarclay is talking bo**ocks as usual
Fucking scumbags! Pay them what they re worth and run the NHS properly.
What about the rest of the time?
SteveBarclay if you are concerned for public safety, you knew these strikes were coming, you have more than sufficient data to make a reasonable prediction of resource requirement. My question to you is, why wasn’t there a contingency plan to eliminate the risk to public safety?
Not getting an ambulance for 18 hours on a none strike day, is putting the public at risk.
Service levels in all aspects of the NHS put the public at risk every single day. If the NHS & the ambulance service were properly staffed & supported, that risk would drop dramatically.
Of course it does. But what puts the public at risk more is hospitals’ inability to offload ambulances as soon as they arrive, leaving them free to attend another call.
Perhaps he should do something then instead of playing politics
He doesn’t appear to care about service levels on non-strike days. I don’t want to hear how the Tories care after they’ve spent close to 13 years running the NHS into the ground.
Really? You’re telling me that a lack of Life-or-Death Service that we pay (through the 👃) for affects Public Safety negatively? Wow!! What a concept, eh, Dave_Eby mikefarnworthbc BCLegislature KevinFalcon?
So do something about SteveBarclay , instead of bitching and moaning you as a minister are responsible for this
There's a solution to that, pay them a proper wage because i would suggest that their job is significantly more important than an MP's. They save lives, when do you hear about the MP's when parliament shuts down for a months holiday, guess what? Life goes on without them.
Service levels during the past 13 years of austerity have put public safety at risk...
Rishi 'Face bothered ?
Wonder what the government make of police service levels at any given time during the day/night
Therefore the government are to blame. Shameful.
Get your nurses uniform on then Steve
SteveBarclay could you clarify what increase risk the industrial action is having on public safety as service levels on non strike days is definitely putting public safety at risk
Service levels outside strikes put public safety at risk.He knows that but comes out with the same old soundbites.Politicians are so thick. Is it a job requirement?
No. SteveBarclay and the corrupt Conservatives party and their planned privatisation and destruction of the NHS, whilst lining the pockets of their cronies, put public safety at risk.
But the public are telling you otherwise. Do as the public ask or step aside.
Pay them then…
Tory government puts public safety at risk…
Use nadhimzahawi's tax to help pay
Tories put public safety at risk by not engaging with the unions and by continually cutting funding. GE NOW
So give them the pay rise. Problem solved.
