Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jessica Toale and Karin Smyth

Tuesday 6th May 2025 Commons Chamber

[Karin Smyth]

As she knows, we are committed to ensuring that the recommendations of the reviews are fully implemented as part of that three-year plan, but I gently say to her that the Liberal Democrat party has consistently opposed the extra £26 billion that this Government raised to support the wider health service. Without that extra funding and the decisions that the Chancellor has made, we would not be able to make the progress that we are now starting to see.
