Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Gwynne and Uma Kumaran

Tuesday 23rd July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Gwynne]

The hon. Gentleman makes a really important point, and we are absolutely committed to ensuring that these services across England are better than those we have inherited. Of course, I completely agree with him about the need to improve these services in specific parts of the country, which is something we will be looking at in detail. However, I have to say to the hon. Gentleman that the one thing those of us on this side of the House will not be doing is what he has written about in “ConservativeHome”, which is health rationing and cutting back on treatment.

[Uma Kumaran (Stratford and Bow) (Lab)]
