Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.


Health and Education

When the Opposition were in government the figure was £426 per person, but under this Government it is £1,612. As a result of extra investment supporting the skills and abilities of its dedicated staff, the NHS has reduced the rate of premature deaths from heart disease by 50 per cent., from stroke by 44 per cent., and from cancer by almost 20 per cent.
