Fury as Labour splash £250,000 of taxpayer cash to hear people’s views on the NHS
The government is investing two hundred and fifty thousand taxpayer dollars to find out what people think of the NHS.
In an effort to have a national dialogue, Health Secretary Wes Streeting launched a roadshow around the United Kingdom last week.
The public is provided 175 bungs to attend, along with lunch and travel expenses.
The estimated cost of the 14-session program is $250,000, according to an internal department.
Additionally, a civil service memo advises against making the final figure public.
Ed Argar, the shadow health secretary, stated: Labour’s lack of a plan for the NHS will be exposed by this enormous waste of money.
