Question to the HM Treasury:

What discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on the effect of funding allocations on the quality of services provided by the NHS since 2010.

In 2017 we announced capital funding for a number of trusts, to help them to make local service improvements.

This included up to £80m for Greater Manchester – including funding to support the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.

I am sure that the Hon. Member will join me in welcoming this investment.
