Suchshall have further meetings later today. Mr. Andrew griffiths. 0 we should never take the advice of mr. Putin. This week we have seen laid bare the extensive culture of mistreatment of the nhs in wales. Does the Prime Minister agree time not onlyt is for a full, independent inquiry into the nhs but also an apology from the leader of the opposition for his partys recognition . My honorable friend makes an important point. In the nhs in wales, doctors, nurses, hospital staff are working around the clock to deliver care but theyve been let down by the welsh politicians in cardiff who have cut the nhs. Britishwhy its the medical association and labour members of parliament to have been calling for a Public Inquiry and wales. Even before that, what we should have is the oecd wants to carry out a comparative study to get the english nhs and the welsh nhs. I support them doing that. Does the right honorable gentleman . Edna labatt. Ed miliband. Mr. Speaker, last week 16 leading Health Organizations representing doctors, nurses and patients warned the Prime Minister of health and social Care Services in england are now, and i quote, at breaking point and things cannot go on like this. Why is that happening . [shouting] absolutely no answer to the question of whether there should be a proper inquiry into the welsh nhs. I will tell him what is happening in the english nhs for which this government is responsible. 1. 3 million more outpatients being treated. 6. 4 million more outpatients appointments. 2500 more nurses, a thousand more doctors, a record we can be proud of. Why . Because we invented in the nhs in england. They cut the nhs in wales. Ed miliband. Everyone can see what the Prime Ministers doing but after five years in office he cant defend his record on the nhs in england. Every time he mentions wales we know he is running scared on the nhs in england. Now, in england we have the highest waiting list or six years, the longest wait in a e for 10 years. The Cancer Treatment target missile for the first time ever. Millions of people cant get to see their gp. Will he just admit the nhs in england is going backwards, isnt it . Lets have an oecd inquiry. I support it. Does he lacks. Does he . Ed miliband. For the very early stage far too much noise. The public art impress. Lets try to operate up to a certain set up the session has be run on, the session will be run on. Ed miliband. He doesnt realize he doesnt ask the question that i asked the questions at Prime Ministers questions. The whole country will have noticed he could not defend what is happening in the English National Health Service for which he is responsible. And why . Four years ago he told us his top to reorganization would improve the nhs. Now we know its 3 billion pounds down the drain. Well be now admit in public what he is saying in private . His top to reorganization has been a total disaster for the nhs. Im not only happy to defend our record in the nhs with the extra spending, the extra doctor, the extra nurses, all the extra treatment, i want a comparison between the labour nhs in wales being cut, no targets met on cancer since 2008, on a indeed since 2008. I want a comparison. So i will allow the oecd to come in and look at the english Health Services. Let me ask him again, will he let look at the failures in wales . Ed miliband. No attempt even to answer the question, mr. Speaker. Instead of smearing the nhs in wales he should be saving the nhs and england, mr. Speaker. Now, the question people are asking is what will the nhs look like in the future . His own conservative chair of the Health Select Committee Says alessi changes course it does funding plan for nhs, there will be charges. What hes promised nothing more than inflation for the nhs. We show how we can raise 2. 5 billion pounds a year over and above that. Why doesnt he admit all he alle offers on nhs is fight for years of crisis . What we have seen is he is totally terrified of labours failures in wales on the nhs. He will not answer the simplest of questions. Now, let me tell them what is been happening over the last five years in the english nhs. Let me tell them what his former labour adviser who worked with him in number 10 downing street who now runs nhs england, lets hear what he has to say about the nhs in england. He says this, over the past five years the nhs has been remarkably successful. We are treating millions more patience than five years ago. The nhs has become some 20 billion pounds more efficient, a world leading genomes program is harnessing the best of this countries medical expertise, and the global rankings have ranked us the highest performing Health System of the leading industrialized nations. [shouting] this guy wasnt much more effective labour adviser than either of those two. [laughter] hes trading under tribble will quotes and he quoted one. Let me quote him when. This shadow minister who i think sums it. We dont have a policy problem. Weve got a massive ed miliband problem, and i think weve seen that in evidence today. Ed miliband. Mr. Speaker, i have to say, i have to say i dont think hes in a position to give a master class in leadership. Two mps have defected. Nine of his 2010 mps standing down from and every day he is saying to his policy on europe. He didnt answer the question. One of the ways he could support the nhs is by funding one week after testing with a levy on the Tobacco Companies. Why wont they let him do it . What we are doing is treating half a million more Cancer Patients every year than under labour. But lets see what was at the Royal College of gps said about this policy . They said this, i promise will only serve to create a full expectation that cannot be met, like all his promises unraveling in one go. Now mr. Speaker, he spoke about leadership. He only had one difficult leadership decision to make this week, and that was to sack his shadow chancellor and the completely fronted. And it tells you the two things you need to know about labour. They do not have an economic plan and they dont have the leadership that can ever deal with an economic plan. [shouting] ed miliband. On his watch the deficit is going up by 10 . We have the worst costofliving crisis in a century. And he is in total denial of the national Health Service. The nhs is on the ballot paper in may because he is already at breaking point. Ollie offers is five more years of crisis. He cant tax the Tobacco Companies but is lobbyists wont let them. He will tax expense of property because his donors wont let him. The British Public no, you cant trust this Prime Minister on the nhs. And every day he proves them right. [shouting] i will tell them the figures that come out in the last fortnight. A record fall in unemployment. Inflation down to a sixyear low. The imf sing with the Fastest Growing economy of any g7 country. That is whats happening. What we can see from labour is failure and weakness, no economic plan, nothing to offer this country. As i put it last week, so but not up to the job of. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Having founded to Small Companies myself and knowing what its like to employ people, with the Prime Minister commend the Small Businesses in my constituency who have done so much to reduce unemployment by 31 this year and to create 720 apprenticeships . Well it is early to as my honorable friend says that the reduction in unemployment and we were seeing that now in every region of the country and some very impressive figures as she says, a lot of that is coming about because Small Businesses feel more able to take people on. Part of that is the help weve given Small Businesses, cutting Small Businesses great attacks and also to the National Insurance rebate making sure every Small Business benefits by 2000 pounds. That is helping them to give confidence to get people worked. Thank you, mr. Speaker. A few months ago i raised with the Prime Minister the case of my former constituent who was in prison in pakistan, since i did that he is actually been shot in prison by security guards. His family would like him to return to this country under an agreement. What steps will Prime Minister take to achieve that . The honorable lady is right to raise this case. It is appalling the way this man hahas been treated and its particularly appalling that as she says he was shot while in prison supposedly being protected by the pakistani authorities. We have raised this case and i raised this case personally with the pakistani, with the leaders of pakistan. We are looking at the case for prisoner transfer but they had to be suspended in recent years because pakistan released prisoners that we returned to them. So there is a problem there. We take this case very, very sicily under raising it every level in pakistan. Mr. Speaker, young people in my constituency want to know that they have the security of Job Opportunities when they need leave college. The number of young people didnt get to work went up by staggering 45 it will the Prime Minister join me in applauding the companies up and in the country of taken the opportunity under this government to great apprenticeships leading to see this fall and youth unemployment since records began . My right honorable friend is right. In her constituency the youth claimant count is down right over 50 . In terms of apprenticeships we are on target to achieve 2 million apprentices during this parliament which is far better than anything achieved by the previous government. And for the next parliament, the conservative party said we want to achieve 3 million apprenticeships and we set out how well pay for that by making sure we continue to reform welfare and reduce the benefit cap. Research by the medical Research Council is out over 6000 babies are born each with birth defects caused by alcohol consumed during pregnancy. Other countries must carry warnings about the danger of birth defects but so far has refused in britain. Will the Prime Minister change the governments policy and nature britain cares as much as other countries because i think he makes an important point. Like many in piece in this house i met the organization most concerned with fetal alcohol syndrome and, indeed, the parents of those that of adopted children suffering the effects because of excessive intake of a call by the birth parents. Im happy to look at all the suggestions he makes and at the suggestion because this is a growing crisis in our country and we should do everything we can to stop it. Its 10 and that the months since [inaudible] many of my constituents are still out of their home. In the importance of the uk Economy Investment [inaudible] can i ask the Prime Minister to look favorably given that we know this will happen again in the next 50 years on the plan put together of massive investment in our defenses picture with a warning 200 years and that we really require . I want to congratulate my friend on his leadership on this issue. He brought a group of members apartment to come to me to brief me about the proposals that could be put in place. I know hes been seen to see the chance of exchequer. This government has increased spending. Many schemes were tested over the last few days with these very high winds and stood up extra and will look carefully at what he says. Before the Scottish Referendum the Prime Minister said its common sense it does so what is inside the unit can that all options of devolution at all possible. Will be unequivocally standbys promise [inaudible] being on the table, many devolving full control of scottish spending to the scottish parlor to help create jobs and a more just society . I stand by all the policies are made in the run up to the Referendum Campaign and i think lord smith is an excellent job of looking at all the options for devolution but im sure we can find with forward. But on the basis keeping our promises i hope they will keep their promise when they said the referendum ended this question for a generation, possibly a lifetime. Im not sure their former leader is to that but i think he shou should. Mr. Speaker, i am grateful to the Prime Minister for the many visits he made during the flooding crisis our earlier this me but the artist but a rather good work, to decisions. And i invite him to come down again before it gets too wet so that he can announce the sleuth on the river pairs, and he can announce a sustainable funding mechanism for the Somerset Rivers Authority . I would be delighted to return to somerset. Im sure many of my calling will be meeting beating a path to somerset apple in the coming months. I am excited what is happening in terms of the dredging. There are no multiple teams out there. Theyve made a ripped difference. I think theyre proving that dredging particularly on manmade waterways is what were dealing with can make a ripped difference. My only disappointment is i wasnt allowed to drive the machinery myself for some antiquated health and safety reasons but im sure i would be back. Scam emails cost this country 3. 5 billion pounds a year, brings misery to elderly and Little People right across this country. Its only reported by one in five people. It is the hidden crime. What will the Prime Minister do to stop this . I think the honorable gentleman makes an important point which is of concern to many people. But i think that is the source of issue which the National Crime agencies able now to bring together expertise and to combat properly. I think theres also technological advances in terms of spam, filters and other filters people can put on their computers so they get fewer of these emails in the first place. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Will the Prime Minister join with me in congratulating various medical systems in my constituents are still ranked 30 years of high Quality Manufacturing . And also congratulate Oncology Systems for plans to expand in my constituency . Doesnt not prove that high quality uk manufacturing is on the rise . I think my honorable friend makes an important point, which is we are seeing a recovery in some of the most important high Skill Industries in our country, not least pharmaceuticals, medical services and highend manufacturing. When we look at the jobs that have been created under this government, some twothirds have come from higher skilled jobs rather than lower skilled jobs and that is also good because we want to rebuild the Manufacturing Base of our country. Mike in your constituents was disappointed in it a response received from the treachery regarding the hospital in england telling the bbc he didnt answer her question the im sure members on all sides of the house can relate to her frustration. [laughter] before the last general election the Prime Minister promised a bare knuckle fight to protect Maternity Services that never materialized. Will become from today the unit in a hospital in england is the subject to National Review . I want to see is district general hospitals with the Mat
