Rishi Sunak says 'it isn't relevant' as he refuses to say if his family has private healthcare
Rishi Sunak has refused to say whether he uses private healthcare - insisting it is a 'distraction' while the NHS creaks under soaring pressure. Giving his first TV interview of 2023, the Prime Minister was asked whether he had a private GP four times by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg.
The PM told BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg : "It's just a personal choice. It's about healthcare, I think it's [something] that is private, but I think what people care about is am I going to make a difference on the things that they care about. "When it comes to the NHS, I literally grew up in an NHS family, my dad was a GP, my mum was a pharmacist and I think my track record matters more than these things. But what I would say is I want to make sure that we do have fantastic healthcare for everybody."
