Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Satvir Kaur

Tuesday 23rd July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. I understand that today is a new start with Question Time, but we have to be short and speedy. That is the whole idea of oral questions, because otherwise Members are not going to get in.

[Satvir Kaur (Southampton Test) (Lab)]

T2. After 14 years of Conservative mismanagement of our NHS, the waiting list at Southampton general hospital is close to 60,000. I welcome my hon. Friend’s commitment and plan to bring down waiting lists, but can she also outline what support will be offered to those waiting for treatment, many of whom are in pain, as we tackle the shameful backlog we inherited?
