Commons ChamberAbsolutely. It is so difficult to get to a GP, which is why there are all these pressures on our A&Es. Of course, it is only going to get worse, because this year we are going to see cuts to community pharmacies—3,000 will be lost from our towns and streets because of the cuts that are being pursued. Let us not forget that the figure of 3,000 community pharmacies being lost was what the previous Minister, the right hon. Member for North East Bedfordshire (Alistair Burt), told MPs.
I will give way one last time, but then I really must make some progress.
Labour MPs have been raising these matters in this House for weeks, including at urgent questions and in Opposition day debates.
