Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.
Department of Health
May I challenge the figure given by the hon. Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Soames)? I agree that the sum is substantial, but that figure cannot be correct. At least 20 per cent. of the increased spending on the NHS is going on new staff and staff in new posts, which is delivering a wider range of services. It cannot possibly be the case that 87 per cent. of the increase is somehow being spent on inflation.
