"This is just not the time for a strike. As much as we have huge sympathy with many of the grievances of resident doctors, we understand that the next few weeks will be critical for how the next few months will be for the NHS, so I echo calls for …..." Layla Moran - View Speech
"My hon. Friend talks about accessibility, and we cannot forget about disabled people in that.
