Unfortunately, the provided transcript does not include a complete ministerial response. This section would typically address the points raised by the lead MP and other interventions, provide funding announcements, policy commitments, timelines, and rebuttals to criticisms. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester Rusholme on securing this important debate. I acknowledge that inequality levels are a national scandal exacerbated by austerity measures and stagnant wages. The Government’s health mission, chaired by the Prime Minister, aims to address social determinants of health strategically to improve healthy life expectancy while halving regional disparities. We have established 11 working groups focusing on policy development to feed into our 10-year health plan for equitable healthcare access. Devolution gives leaders like Mayor Andy Burnham flexibility in setting priorities locally. The revised national planning policy framework blocks new fast food outlets near schools, and the Tobacco and Vapes Bill aims to reduce smoking’s impact on deprived communities by banning indoor smoking in certain outdoor settings. We are ending two-tier health care through our elective reform plan, offering NHS patients access to private hospitals paid for by the state where capacity is available. I look forward to working with my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester Rusholme to shatter the class ceiling and improve healthcare equity.
