Election special: NHS strikes, A&E pressures and raising taxes to fund the NHS

A week before the election, Sally Warren, Siva Anandaciva and Dan Wellings sit down to talk about what the public want from the next government, how industrial action might disrupt plans to improve health care and the recent Dispatches episode, which revealed the harrowing human consequences of A&E performance pressures. 

Plus, they answer a listener question on ways to approach delivering NHS improvement at a national and local level.
