Jamie Webster has shared new single ‘24 Hours In A&E’.

Part tribute, part letter of complaint, the documentarian lyrics on the track bring the struggles of NHS healthcare professionals and patients into sharp focus.

The singer-songwriter commented, “’24 Hours in A&E’ is a documentation of the state of decline in the NHS and the public health service under the Tories, compiling stories that come from my own experiences and those of others around me from times in A&E. It’s about good people from all walks of life, of all backgrounds, including people who were born here, who migrated here or are seeking asylum. It’s showing support for NHS staff, seeing the things they have to put up with due to the lack of funding and the lack of recruitment.”

“So many of those working so hard to keep us fit and healthy have come to help us from overseas and things will only get better if we all call for the changes we need as one working-class community. In my eyes the issue has always been with the people upstairs designing the engine, not the people on the ground making the cogs turn.”
