Health and Social Care

Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 January 2020. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Social Care.

This Queen’s Speech has health and social care at its heart. For the first time in the history of the NHS, we will enshrine into law our long-term funding settlement. Yesterday we brought forward the NHS Funding Bill, which makes a record financial commitment of £33.9 billion more each year—the largest cash injection since the NHS was founded. It will enable us to go further and faster in delivering better health and social care in this country over the next decade. We are already delivering on this Queen’s Speech. We are already delivering on our manifesto, and this Queen’s Speech sets out how we will deliver on the rest of our manifesto. How many new hospitals will there be over the next decade? Forty! That was even mentioned by the hon. Member for Leicester South (Jonathan Ashworth).
