Prime minister has ‘missed his own targets to cut ambulance and A&E waits’, says Wes Streeting as England waiting list figures remain near record levels
This is a brutal end to Sir Michael Hodgkinson’s appearance at the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry today. He has been given the chance to say some words, offering an apology, but the apology comes directly after a passage of questioning which exposed his total failure at the company to understand or show any interest in investigating what was going on.
Hodgkinson said: I have been saddened and appalled at the evidence that’s come out over the last 15 years since I left, where so many innocent postmasters and mistresses were unfairly prosecuted under the Horizon system, and as a result suffered most dreadful experiences and devastating consequences not just for themselves, but for their families.
