Direct Answer
▸
Context
Between winter 2018 and 2019, the four-hour A&E target in Bradford saw a significant drop of seven percentage points.
In Health questions last October, Imran Hussain warned about these risks but was refused a meeting to discuss them. He asks why further funding wasn't provided to prevent staff and patient risk at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
Edward Argar notes that despite the drop, Bradford treated more people than ever before this winter. He thanks staff and asserts that the Conservative party is committed to NHS investment, implying that funding decisions reflect overall policy priorities.
