The Liberal Democrats called for Parliament to be recalled early, while Labour criticised the government's management of the health service.
The government said NHS staff do an " incredible job" and it recognised the pressures facing medics.
A spokesperson said the NHS and social care had been backed with up to £14. 1bn additional funding over The Next two years.

" And I think that's The Sense of jeopardy which is frightening so many people across the country, " he told BBC Radio 4 's PM programme.
The Liberal Democrat MP Daisy Cooper said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak " must declare a major incident".
" This is a national crisis and the country will never forgive the government if they refuse to recall Parliament. "

Professor Phil Banfield, chair of The British Medical Association (BMA) - which represents doctors, called on the government to " Step Up and take immediate action".

He described the current situation in the NHS as " intolerable and unsustainable".
Nhs England chief strategy officer, Chris Hopson, urged caution when asked about people who may be dying as a result of issues in the health service.
He warned against " jumping to conclusions about excess mortality rates and their cause without a really full and detailed look at the evidence".

" We also awarded a 9. 3% pay rise to the lowest earners in the NHS Last Year .
