Debate between Beth Winter and Will Quince

Tuesday 6th December 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Minister of State, Department of Health and Social Care (Will Quince)]

My hon. Friend is a strong champion for Burnley, and I congratulate Burnley General Teaching Hospital on the incredible innovative work it is doing. He is right that rolling out 91 out of 160 CDCs is a tremendous effort, but we want to go further, and I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend to discuss these plans further.

[Beth Winter (Cynon Valley) (Lab)]

The Wales TUC general secretary said that unless we have a fairer funding settlement for Wales, we are going to struggle going forward. When will this Government listen to the Welsh Government and the Welsh trade unions and provide the proper funded pay award that NHS staff deserve?
