Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.
Department of Health
I agree with the right hon. Gentleman on that point, but is he aware that 87 per cent. of the increase this year has been spent on meeting increased cost pressures? If costs in the NHS continue to increase at their present rate, the deficit by 2010 will exceed £7 billion. How does he envisage the Government tackling that problem?
