Rishi Sunak has confirmed he has used private healthcare, having previously refused to answer questions about whether he uses the NHS.
Speaking during PMQs on Wednesday, the prime minister said: “I am registered with an NHS GP, but I have used independent healthcare in the past.”
The admission comes amid widespread strike action by nurses and ambulance workers.
Pat Cullen, the general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, had told Sunak he should “come clean” about his healthcare arrangements.
