I welcome my right hon. Friend's resolve to tackle health inequalities. He will be aware that my primary care trust is underfunded by some £11 million compared with what its funding should be, according to the Department's formula. May I press him to give an assurance that in the next comprehensive spending review he will make substantial progress towards eradicating funding inequalities so that primary care trusts have the resources to tackle those inequalities?

My primary care trust !!!! Since when did Turner own it. Perhaps he'll take responsibility for closing the Wigan eye clinic leaving everyone in Wigan without one if he wants ownership of something..
If the Primary care trust is owed £11m, what has he been doing letting the situation deteriorate, what a waste of space this excuse for an MP is. By the wasn't his pal Burnham Health Minister while the £11m piling up.What a comedy act.
