We delivered £29 billion extra investment into the NHS and scrapped NHS England to invest in the frontline.

Waiting lists are down 230,000— [ Interruption. ] Conservative Members are chuntering, but they absolutely destroyed our health service—we are picking it up. They should be ashamed of themselves.
