At the point when gotten some information about the plans, Sunak said he 'remained by his opinion' and was 'most certainly dedicated to guaranteeing that we get the best incentive for citizens, the best incentive for cash out of the NHS'.

"This might deter them from rebooking, fueling previously demolishing wellbeing disparities and costing the NHS more."
