Rishi Sunak finally admits he uses private healthcare at PMQs

about whether he relied on NHS services or not. The Prime Minister said he was registered with an NHS GP, but told MPs he had used “independent” healthcare in the past.

“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’s father was a GP while his mother ran a pharmacy. He added: “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.”

"If the Prime Minister had negotiated with the nurses before Christmas, they wouldn’t be on strike. If he had negotiated with the ambulance workers, they wouldn’t be on strike either. So why is he choosing to prolong the misery rather than end these strikes?”

Ok - you’ve shamed me into in - my family has used private healthcare too. Does that mean I am somehow less of a person? Money gives you choices - and I choose health over cars & holidays. Ok?

Well done, great news, one less pressure on the NHS. Bit like UKLabour saying ban private education but over 100 MPs sending their own kids to them. Many jobs come with private medical help plans. If you can afford it, go for it.

And?
