Oral Answers to Questions

David Taylor Excerpts

Thursday 25th July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Pat McFadden]

If the right hon. Member set aside spending for his commitments, he did something pretty rare for the last Government. When we look under the bonnet, we find that that was not often the case. We will have more to say about that in the coming days.

[David Taylor (Hemel Hempstead) (Lab)]

T3. I welcome the Front-Bench team to their roles. The people of Hemel Hempstead put their trust in me because they want change, particularly on issues such as healthcare, on which the last Government failed to deliver. Can the Minister update the House on the changes that the Government are planning to make for my constituents and constituents around the country?

[Pat McFadden]

We are getting on with our first steps, including on healthcare, which is a top priority for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. We want to make the NHS fit for the future. We did it before and we can do it again.
