Rishi Sunak has finally admitted to using private healthcare after his repeated refusal to answer questions about reports he has enjoyed the services of a private GP.
The prime minister said he had used “independent” health care outside of the NHS during a feisty PMQs exchange in the Commons.
“I am registered with a NHS GP,” Mr Sunak said, before adding: “I have used independent health care in the past, and I’m also grateful to the Friarage Hospital for the fantastic care they’ve given my family over the years.”
The PM added: “I’m proud to come from a NHS family, and that’s why I’m passionately committed to protecting it with more funding, more doctors and nurses, and a clear plan to cut the waiting list.”
