Text
I thank the Member for giving way. I am glad that she raised that point. I am sure that she is as sickened as I am by the dangerous and, frankly, false rhetoric that some have used in the House today. The NHS is under pressure because we have an ageing and sicker population, coupled with decades of consecutive British Governments gutting funding for the NHS. Despite what has been said, immigration is not the reason why people cannot get a doctor's appointment; immigration is precisely the reason why people still can get a doctor's appointment.
