Sir Keir set out in his speech to the Labour conference in Liverpool on Tuesday how the “biggest challenge” for the NHS was to cut waiting lists and vowed to get the health service “working round the clock” to clear the backlog. The party also vowed to provide extra scanners for the health service and bring in dental reforms if it wins the next general election.During his speech, Sir Keir promised to end non-dom tax status to funnel money into the health service as part of a bid to reduce the number of patients waiting for treatment.
