over whether he uses a private GP, claiming that his family's arrangements are "not really relevant".- he finally tried to settle the issue at today's PMQs. He told MPs: "I am registered with an NHS GP, I have used independent healthcare in the past, and I'm also grateful to the Friarage Hospital for the fantastic care they have given my family over the years."

Mr Sunak - the son of a GP and a pharmacist - added: "The truth is I am proud to come from an NHS family and that's why I'm passionately committed to protecting it with more funding, more doctors and nurses, and a clear plan to cut the waiting lists."

I don’t have a problem with people with their own money who wish to spend that money on private healthcare.

In the past means what? A few days ago, before it came to light?

Most private health requires referral from a GP, so saying he is registered with a GP is necessary. It doesn’t mean he buys into the NHS.

So what?

Like we didn't know 😂

I’m not at all interested or bothered in whether he used private healthcare or NHS … just wish he’d sort the NHS out and QUICK!!!

Nothing wrong with going private: he made it weird and seem untrustworthy by not being honest. Typical.

Obviously..

Good for him. So would I if I could afford to.

Why is this a surprise....he's loaded . I'd do the same
