A short stint in the office and then up to London on my motorcycle. By the time I arrived at the House, the programme had changed dramatically. A number of Urgent Questions and Statement by the Health Secretary delayed business, which was then changed to accommodate an emergency debate called by the SNP, who are still aggrieved by their walkout of the Chamber last Wednesday. The Statement by Jeremy Hunt was anticipated with some concern and optimism. I say concern as all increases in expenditure have to be paid for somehow and we are a Party which opposes tax rises. However, the increase was huge, with Mr Hunt saying: "... and can today announce that the NHS will receive an increase of £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24, an average of 3.4 per cent per year growth over the next five years. The funding will be front-loaded with increases of 3.6 per cent in the first two years, which means £4 billion extra next year in real terms, with an additional £1.25 billion cash to cope with specific pension pressures." Rightly, Mr Hunt went on to add that in return for this extra money, the NHS must continue to improve productivity and efficiency. From my own perspective, I called for a complete review of the NHS in an Adjournment Debate as I am convinced the existing structure simply is not coping. During the Statement, I caught the Speaker's eye and raised a point on Portland Community Hospital, which is to replaced by a medical hub on the island. I asked whether this extra money would enable the Dorset CCG to review its review, thereby keeping the community hospital and its beds. I have written to the CCG on this point. Due to the change in programming, the House was reduced to a one-line Whip at about 1630, so I headed home for supper at about 1900.
