Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wes Streeting and Gareth Snell

Tuesday 15th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Wes Streeting]

I absolutely take the point the hon. Gentleman is making about the importance of place-based leadership. That is why one thing we will be looking to do, as part of the 10-year plan process, is to clarify roles and responsibilities in different parts of the system to ensure that we have better strategic place-based leadership.

[Gareth Snell (Stoke-on-Trent Central) (Lab/Co-op)]
