If this woman told me that it was light outside, I'd go and physically look. I wouldn't trust anything she says.

[ljcm]

!2 years of Tory rule can't be turned around by the same people that brought us here! Just more of the same!

[ACameronUK]

This seems to be the governments current strategy - say things, express at great lengths that you’re on the side of ‘everyone’ and then hope the interview ends before there is a chance to cover the follow up 😂

[audreymcgready]

She tackled the energy crisis alright. She let them keep the cash. Now the bankers get more too.

[Diddley]

My dentist listened to her this morning on the Today progamme and was astonished that she managed to get through an entire 10 minute interview without saying anything at all. He has absolutely no idea what her 'plan' is - and he's supposed to be making it work!

[Not]

Yet another brilliant evasive interview from Health Secretary Ronnie Barker.

[darkfeign]

If only her predecessors had realised that they could just mandate patient wait times and magically things would be fixed.

[tawAAkul]

Sick of the Tories and the NHS. All words. No substance. No recognition of the underlying issues that have got worse and worse over the decade. No understanding of the health and care system.

[DylRicho]

How about some serious work on improving dentistry in the UK? 3-year waiting lists are totally unacceptable, and how is someone on benefits supposed to afford private or emergency appointments?

[antonyholmes]

Correct: this is the articulation of an aspiration. It is devoid of an actual plan to achieve it.

[chriswaddilove]

What the NHS really needs is for the Government to achieve its stated 'expectation' to recruit 6000 additional GPs and the unrecruited 50K nursing staff.

" Patients are my top priority " Only had 5 heart consultations cancelled this year and had a change in medication in February and still waiting to be supplied with said medication.

T.C. won't have to worry as she will no doubt get seen by a Dr straight away if she needs one then wack the expense form in. Shortly before popping back into the pub to quaff pints of ale and smoke Cuban

[elvisvaughan]

You are not fooling us Coffey we are on to you

[sheilamallett]

How many GP practices have been sold off to non UK companies, usually American, where profit is the priority, not patients? Check your local practice, ask who owns it.

[bk]

She gives the same word perfect speech to various media owners whatever questions they ask! An appalling self centred tory who doesn't give a toss about the electorate and on top of that she is now Deputy Prime Minister. Give me strength!!!!

[adrianoyorkshire]

Very eloquently she said utterly nothing substantial, 'We've been looking..., we want GPs to see..., I'm aware of..., I want to make sure...'.

[bigtastyforlife]

"Patients are clearly my top priority"

Just lie straight out of the gate, new PB for her.

[sixstrings]

That must me the unhealthiest looking health secretary I've ever seen (and the interviewer's no slouch either). England just can't seem to run out of these clowns.

[stevenhoward]

[sarc] Dr Thérèse Coffey is the picture of health and is surely a role model for us all. Well done in firing the starting gun on health privatisation. [/sarc]

[orchidhouse]

So, I go to a different surgery, probably as overloaded as the one I am leaving, and start another wait time. She is a candidate for the deepest waffle competition - waffler of the week.
