Father who confronted PM over NHS says daughter is doing better
A father who confronted Boris Johnson over the state of the NHS when the Prime Minister made a visit to a hospital has said that his daughter is doing better.
Omar Salem took the Prime Minister to task during a visit to a children’s ward at Whipps Cross University Hospital, where his seven-day-old daughter was being treated.
Mr Salem claimed there were not enough doctors and nurses as he complained to the PM.
In a conversation lasting around two minutes, Mr Salem said the situation was “not acceptable”.
Mr Johnson was visiting Whipps Cross University Hospital in north-east London when he was challenged by Mr Salem on a children’s ward.

He said the situation was “not acceptable” and told the Prime Minister: “There are not enough people on this ward, there are not enough doctors, there’s not enough nurses, it’s not well organised enough.
“The NHS has been destroyed… and now you come here for a press opportunity.”
Mr Johnson said “there’s no press here” but Mr Salem gestured to cameras filming the confrontation, and said: “What do you mean there’s no press here, who are these people?”
The Prime Minister explained he was “here to find out” about the situation but the man said: “It’s a bit late, isn’t it? Years and years and years of the NHS being destroyed.”
Mr Salem tweeted on Saturday: “Our daughter is very much better, which is a great relief.
“Thank you to the ambulance/A&E staff and the ward staff who cared for her over the last few days.
“She will be in hospital for a while longer for precautionary reasons. Thank you for all the messages of love & support.”
We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

Hi followers
I see overweight Boris getting a good tell off for selling our N.H.S. to privet sector firm in U.S.A + Chine + India + Russia I must say to the Distressed man in article Boris will just back to No10 and do nothing about your requests on N.H.S. mess his party is making of it.
///
Boris I must say now as a free voter at G.E. time possibly in 2019 time frame the following problem in our country Now
Will cost Tory party their seats at local area level? SIR
//
Problem
1- U-Credit Tory scam benefit payments killing people off.
Plus proven to link with poverty within low paid working families you Boris voted for in first place.
2- Tory Govt trashing our N.H.S. for cash only. Not to make it better and free to use like it was come time we will only be seen in N.H.S. Hospital when we have insurance cover to pay for any treatment at any N.H.S. Hospital this is what you voted for Boris.
3- The trashing of our transport infrastructure by letting Tory M.P Grayling make bad deal that us taxpayer are paying for now to clean up NOT him or Tory Minister,
We taxpayer are paying for his doggy deals done.
Boris you also voted him to this post as T. Minister why?
4- Now the big problem Boris Brexit you also voted for and rest of Tory Govt members, but we are still in WHY?
You and your party have failed to deliver for us leave voters now you are seeking a quick fix to the Tory Govt mess
I ask what price it will cost? us voter plus the U.k. if the shit hit the fan Boris when you try to get Ms May C**p W/Bill vote passed in parliament again with back stop still in it?
5- Boris when are you going to get shut of D.U.P. party and make them start up their Govt in N/Ireland then the back stop could be sorted out by them in their own Govt place.
FINALLY!
Boris this is just 5 points I as a free voter think you + Tory Govt will loss voters on, At G.E. time they are more unjust Tory policy that I can name but the post then would be 100 pages longer a true, fact Boris from a voter + resident U.K.
