"We've all been there and anybody who has had a bad experience in A& E will know exactly how that family feels, and that is why I want to concentrate on getting cash into the NHS, taking the country forward. "

But he reiterated that "Only If you get Brexit done [can you] move the country forward".

Speaking at his final rally in London, Mr Johnson there was "24 hours to break the deadlock".

He said the Conservative government would "make sure we give Our Children and grandchildren The Future they deserve in This Country ".

"We have travelled all round the country and the enthusiasm of our party's supporters working Together to get Out There with our message is incredible - and I think that message is getting through," he said.

"I think the support is growing and there is a greater understanding that we cannot go on with underfunded public services and a government that has not been straightforward With Us on Brexit or the trade talks with the USA. "

Asked about candidates who have expressed concerns about negative feedback on the doorsteps - including a leaked recording of shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth casting doubts on Labour's chances in the Poll - Mr Corbyn said: "You Show Me a candidate at any election that isn't worried from any party.

"Being a candidate means you get worried. But I tell you what, we are going to win this thing. "
