Rishi Sunak took a trip to Milton Keynes University Hospital to unveil plans for 900 extra NHS beds. But Lilian Soribe, a Practice Educator at the hospital, was left less than impressed. She said the plan does not solve the problems she and the other nurses at the hospital - and across the country - face. Speaking after Mr Sunak returned from a trip to California to visit wards at the site, Lilian, 38, said: 'I think his head is still in the clouds from his holiday. If there are 900 beds and we get one or two we still need at least another 99 - and it doesn't really solve the problems we have capacity-wise. 'Staffing is the biggest problem we are facing at the moment. The gap we are trying to plug keeps widening. How do we get new nurses and train them without the budget?" Lilian, who trained in Nigeria and has worked at the hospital since 2016, feared the PM does 'not appreciate the grit that goes into this profession'. She added: 'We know we're not getting the response we need from him, we expect more and we are seeing so little. You end up feeling that you are not able to provide the quality care for patients. You can feel depressed as a member of staff, demotivated because you are unable to do the work you're supposed to be doing, and undervalued.' Brazen Sunak made the promises after 12,000 beds in the NHS have been cut since the Tories returned to power. Returning from his Disneyland holiday in California, the Prime Minister visited Milton Keynes University Hospital, Bucks, to claim the £250million plan 'is another step' on the 'journey to a better performing NHS, delivering better care for people par){kind=link}
