I think he's referring to the staffing problems, which are greatly being exacerbated by Brexit, the longest financial squeeze and biggest crisis in the NHS's history, coupled with an increased demand from an ageing population. The Tories are sitting on their hands and quietly letting it die, secure in the knowledge that private healthcare is there for them whilst the plebs can suffer, and they can reap the financial rewards from their friends in the private sector.
The Royal College of Nursing are voting on strike action, something they have never even contemplated before, I suggest they choose June 8th for a day of action. It'll be interesting to see whether the Govt. can persuade the public, that the nurses are the same as militant miners.
