I see the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) complaining, but what did he say? His words were, “we’re going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare” and: “If you can afford it, you pay” —not under our watch. While he is busy taking Liz Truss’s advice and fawning over Putin, we are driving down waiting lists, with 3 million extra appointments delivered and waiting lists slashed in the most deprived areas. That is six times that the waiting lists have come down, including during the winter period. We are rebuilding our NHS, rebuilding our country’s future and delivering for working people.
