Watch the moment Rishi Sunak refuses to answer whether he uses a private GP amid NHS crisis
Rishi Sunak refused to say whether he uses a private GP three times while insisting the issue is a “distraction from the things that really matter”.
The prime minister refused to discuss reports that he uses a private GP, saying: “As a general policy I wouldn’t ever talk about me or my family’s healthcare situation, it’s not really relevant, what’s relevant is the difference I can make to the country.”
When asked if he was registered with a private GP, he said: “My dad was a doctor. I grew up in an NHS family.
“It’s just a personal choice. I think healthcare is somewhat private.”
