LIVE: UK PM Keir Starmer launches 10 year health plan

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer launches a 10-year strategy to save a National Health Service he said was in crisis, as he aims to alleviate the burden on overstrained hospitals and provide care closer to people's homes.

The state-run, publicly funded NHS has struggled to recover from the impact of COVID, endured annual winter crises and several waves of industrial action, and currently reports long backlogs for elective procedures.
