Wes Streeting

Labour — Ilford North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2025

Debate

Health and Adult Social Care Reform

Contribution

It does. I was talking about the fact that working class people are often left behind in a two-tier system where those who can afford it pay to go private, and those who cannot are left behind. It is the determination of this Government to bring back to life the essential Bevanite principle of an NHS that is there for everyone when they need it: healthcare available to all on the basis of need, not on ability to pay.
