Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether and how they plan to respond to the British Medical Association's vote on 23 June to resist NHS cuts.

National health service funding in England has not been cut – over the last four years the NHS has received annual real terms growth. Funding is £12.7 billion higher in cash terms in 2014-15 than in 2010-11. The NHS is on track to make up to £20 billion efficiency savings this parliament to reinvest into frontline care and we are confident that it will continue to make the efficiency improvements necessary to meet rising demand.
