Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Neil Coyle and Wes Streeting

Tuesday 19th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Wes Streeting]

The hon. Member is welcome to make representations to the Department for the capital investment that he is calling for, but he should welcome the means of providing it, which was the Chancellor’s decision in the Budget.

[Neil Coyle (Bermondsey and Old Southwark) (Lab)]

I welcome Ministers’ leadership in attacking the record waiting times inherited from the Tories. Will they in turn recognise Guy’s and St Thomas’ efforts to reduce delays, especially in the ear, nose and throat and paediatric spinal surgery teams? Will the Secretary of State outline measures to protect our NHS from cyber-attacks, which was another issue neglected by the last Government but is affecting patients in Southwark?
