The prime minister asks Poole if hospital staff have been taking care of her to which she replies, 'They always do. It's a pity you don't pay them more.' Sunak says the government is trying, but Poole shoots back with: 'You need to try harder.' The interaction came shortly after the government dropped one of Sunak's leadership campaign pledges to fine patients £10 if they miss a GP or hospital appointment.
