The Prime Minister

The hon. Lady is absolutely right that the NHS was broken by the last Administration, and the Darzi report makes that absolutely— [ Interruption. ] They should hang their heads in shame, frankly. We are providing in the Budget £22 billion of additional funding this year for our NHS. That is a huge investment that is much welcomed and much needed across the NHS. We will work with GPs and consult the sector on the services they provide and the money they are entitled to in return. All that funding will be confirmed in the usual way.
