Julia Hartley-Brewer interviews Roy Lilley, former NHS Trust Chairman, on the policy announcement by Keir Starmer regarding a virtual hospital service.
Roy Lilley explains that the service aims to move certain hospital appointments to phone consultations, similar to how many GP appointments are already conducted.
He notes that a third of GP appointments are done over the phone and that the policy could save 8 million appointments. However, Lilley expresses confusion over the specifics and suggests that the policy might create new waiting lists for online NHS services.
Roy emphasizes the importance of community and social care, particularly for the over-60s and under-9s, and criticises the Labour Party’s communication skills and focus on Nigel Farage.
