Rishi Sunak’s use of private healthcare ‘not in public interest’, Downing St claims

DOWNING Street has refused to confirm if the Prime Minister and his family use private healthcare as the NHS is in major crisis, claiming it is “not in the public interest”.

Rishi Sunak is registered with a private GP practice that charges £250 for a same day, half-hour consultation and offers appointments at the evenings and weekends as well as home visits, it has been reported.

But Sunak has previously ducked questions about his use of private healthcare and now the Prime Minister’s official spokesman has again refused to confirm any details, despite the escalating crisis facing the NHS.
