LONDON - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing calls from senior Conservatives, including members of his own government, to get a grip of the crisis in Britain’s National Health Service and make a more generous pay offer to end strikes by nurses and ambulance drivers.
The tumult has prompted sharp criticism of the government’s handling of the crisis, with ministers, officials and Members of Parliament from inside Mr Sunak’s own Conservative Party among those who voiced concerns to Bloomberg, on condition of anonymity. So far, ministers have insisted that compromising on pay this year would be inflationary; instead of cutting a deal, they have announced new laws aimed at cracking down on future strikes.
A policy that rewarded the NHS but held the line against the left-wing rail union leader Mick Lynch could have won the support of the public, eased the health crisis and avoided a significant increase in inflation, one Tory MP said. Against that backdrop, the practical concern across Whitehall is that the nurses’ dispute could spread more widely across health and social care this year.
Nevertheless, a former Cabinet minister said the government’s approach to the nurses was shambolic, adding that voters were always going to blame the Tories instead of health care workers. This was rejected partly over fears it echoed heavy-handed Covid-era intervention, but also because officials were unable to produce convincing ideas about what could realistically be done to help in the short-term.
