'If I Were Her, I'd Shut Up' Jess Phillips Claims Palestine Stance Got Her Quicker Healthcare

Former NHS Trust Chairman Roy Lilley joins Julia Hartley Brewer on Talk for a quick discussion on the NHS.

This comes after two stories have emerged related to healthcare in the UK. Firstly, Labour MP Jess Phillips stated during 'An Evening with Jess Phillips' at a theatre in north London, that she believes she was given quicker treatment in the NHS due to her pro-ceasefire stance on Palestine. Roy confirms that this type of thing can happen in NHS waiting rooms, though it shouldn't

Secondly, a new report has revealed that more young people are turning to private healthcare due to long NHS waiting lists. Those in their twenties and thirties say they would pay to avoid delays amid warnings of a two-tier healthcare system.

Absolutely disgusting in a British hospital, if true he should be sacked. IF?

[mickkennedy]

If this doctor did this he should be dismissed and deported.

The question is, what would have happened if she’d been pro Israel ?

[joantaylor]

If this is true, why would Jess Phillips boast about it?
The doctor that showed 'favour' should definitely be pulled up for not being impartial . 😮
2 Tier and secterian healthcare????😢

I'm afraid its like that with all front facing customer services, they can tell if your NOT pro-palestine.

Jess Phillips should have said no, I can see people have been waiting hours. I don't want to add to their pain and misery by jumping the queue....
