The Labour leader attacked the prime minister as they clashed at prime minister’s questions in excess of a series of statistics on the NHS.

Even so, his reply prompted an intervention on a point of purchase from the shadow overall health secretary, Andy Burnham: “The prime minister appeared to suggest that the number of folks who waited longer than 18 weeks for an operation had gone down given that his reorganisation. I have the figures here – April 2010, 20,662 waited longer than 18 weeks. April 2014, 29,417. The variety has gone up. Prior to the prime minister leaves the chamber do not you feel he may well correct the record, Mr Speaker?”
Cameron said: “I can inform the residence the numbers waiting longer than 18, 26 and 52 weeks to start treatment is reduce than at any time underneath the last government. These are the details. Yesterday [Labour] had been caught out with dodgy statistics – I hink they have just accomplished it once again.”
Labour accused the prime minister of getting misleading as it confirmed that the party would make the NHS the principal emphasis of its summertime campaigning. A get together supply stated: “We are established to use the NHS as the centrepiece of our summer time campaigning. We are established to display individuals how items are going backwards underneath this government and we are established to make it 1 of the major troubles in the run up to the following election.”
