Part of Bills Presented – in the House of Commons at 4:54 pm on 19 November 2009.
The big question in my constituency is why the East Riding of Yorkshire, which has an older-than-average population and a higher burden of disease than average, receives one of the lowest health funding settlements in the country. Will the Secretary of State explain why that is, or give my constituents cause to believe that fairer funding would be provided by a future Labour Government, if, improbably, Labour was re-elected?
