Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.

Department of Health

I will give way to the hon. Gentleman, who I hope will address this point. Labour Members suggested that there were real-terms cuts in health budgets under the Conservatives. That is completely untrue. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will answer the key question of whether, according to the standard measurement of productivity in the NHS, productivity has been falling under this Government. Would not that explain the waste of all this money?
