Rishi Sunak has finally admitted he has used private healthcare following weeks of speculation
about whether he relied on NHS services or not. The Prime Minister said he was registered with an NHS GP, but told MPs he had used “independent” healthcare in the past.
“I have used independent healthcare in the past. And I’m also grateful to the Friarage Hospital for the fantastic care they have given my family over the years.” Mr Sunak’s father was a GP while his mother ran a pharmacy. He added: “I am proud to come from an NHS family and that’s why I’m passionately committed to protecting it with more funding, more doctors and nurses and a clear plan to cut the waiting lists.”
"If the Prime Minister had negotiated with the nurses before Christmas, they wouldn’t be on strike. If he had negotiated with the ambulance workers, they wouldn’t be on strike either. So why is he choosing to prolong the misery rather than end these strikes?”
