Two weeks ago she asked a very similar question of the then Prime Minister, Liz Truss, and received a very evasive answer.
It was shocking at #PMQs today to see the Prime Minister completely ignore my question about hospital roofs at risk of collapse.
The Govt must provide emergency funding now to protect staff and patients from these dangerous roofs. pic.twitter.com/ev2CsAiWIC

I have sympathy for those needing treatment. Some will pay out their savings. I spent £2000 on urgent dental care, several broken teeth. Probably need yo find another £400 for private eye exam in London.
So many things wrong with our society, things need to change, it’s a time when strength is needed.
This is the sort of thing the Lib Dems should be concentrating on rather than attacking ministers who under-represented in government. The poor state of some hospital buildings, the lack of NHS dentists, hospital waiting times, pressures on A & E and over-stretched ambulance services are all down to a lack of resources in these areas. The party needs to keep on raising these issues with the government and not let go until they take action.
