health secretary matt hancock says hospitals will get the addtional funds this year.h said the government‘s announcement should be viewed with sceptism. you've got to remember that in recent years tory ministers have launched a smash and grab raid on the nhs investment budget, cutting over £4 billion from those budgets, which is why we have hospitals today with ceilings falling in and wards evacuated, sewage pipes bursting, and cancer patients awaiting diagnosis are having their diagnosis appointments cancelled because of faulty equipment, or seriously ill mental health patients at risk of suicide in old, dilapidated, dormitory style awards because of these £4 billion worth of tory cuts. it has left our hospitals with a £6 billion repair bill, a big backlog, so this money today is a drop in the ocean, if indeed it is new money. let‘s now speak to our political correspondent jessica parker. 0ver over to you, jessica — is it new money? this is being hotly debated, downing street insisting it is new money, that the nhs would definitely not have this £1.8 billion if boris

how people like matt hancock, who have been very keen, how are they going to square it?t this stage, i think it will put some pressure 011 at this stage, i think it will put some pressure on the eu if it shows there is no way that mps can stop brexit. does anyone believe a real negotiation is going on?” brexit. does anyone believe a real negotiation is going on? i think there is something going on because of the eu, in the end, germany needs us of the eu, in the end, germany needs us and to appoint france needs us and other countries need us. who can tell but the photographs of them with boris johnson tell but the photographs of them with borisjohnson seemed to be rather more friendly than the ones with theresa may and maybe they would like to settle this in a civilised way. it's going to be yea rs, yea rs of civilised way. it's going to be years, years of discussion, to discuss the nitty—gritty of this deal and i think in a way, that is a point that boris has. i felt all the time that theresa may was trying to get a deal, there was so much yakking from the other side. i

we are joined now by the health and social care secretary, matt hancock. good morning, mr hancock. £1.8 billion extra that has been put into the health service, i think these 20 hospital upgrades around the country will be fantastic. i have been working on them for some time, i am delighted that the new prime minister has made the nhs its top domestic priority, domestic priority number one, and put the money from the treasury into the nhs, so that we can have these upgrades. so for instance, if you are watching this in cornwall, you will get a new women's and children's hospital in truro as a result of this announcement, and 20 others around the country. if you are watching this in cornwall, and indeed anywhere else, you might add the sums up, anywhere else, you might add the sums up, as anywhere else, you might add the sums up, as well. it has also been placed by borisjohnson since he became prime minister, £1.1 billion for the police, £3.9 billion that pledge for the trans— pennine transport, a part of hs three, £3.6 billion for town funding projects, £138 billion for brexit proj

when i met with secretary of state matt hancock, i felt that was an easier meeting because i was ableill push him as to why the drug is so expensive and at this point, when we are hearing lots of news about their profits and everything, asking them if it really is his true opinion if price should be put on a life, because i think there has to be some point where business steps aside, people stop looking at statistics and start looking at the faces of cf sufferers. we can't get in a room and negotiate with them, which is devastating because our lives are in someone else's hands. so, yes, i'm going to go in the meeting with the hope to put a face to name, so that when they eventually will sit round the table together, they've all seen my face. laughter and they won't forget it, either, and your message, i'm sure. thank you very much for speaking to us this evening for some very good luck with the meeting and perhaps we will talk to you again after the meeting to see what the verdict is. the green party mp caroline lucas has apologised for inviting an all white group of women to join an

if matt hancock stopped talking about what he should do and what you should do and actually there wasd or these children will die. it is not frustration. unfortunately, with your panel, i know you had one pa rent with your panel, i know you had one parent on there, but you did not talk to these patients. you should have talked to the ms society. you didn't talk to the patients. that is why we have consultation. why not do that before the guidance comes out? that would be sensible to do upfront? we always have low members on our upfront? we always have low members on our committees and we open up our d raft on our committees and we open up our draft guidelines to consultation. cani draft guidelines to consultation. can i go back to your question about what we can do about it, hannah? just to finish on this, because it does sound like you delivered guidance without really properly consulting people. i disagree. guidance without really properly consulting people. idisagree. iwas —— i asked to be on the panel but i was told i shouldn't do media for a whole year and told not to say what i

the serious ministers in his government have said about prorogation, matt hancock, amber rudd, nickyajidjavid, michael gove, have all said that prorogation was the wrong thing to do and even borisjohnson has said it was an arcane procedure, he didn't believe in it and he believed in seeking consensus. well, i'm not sure how they can explain now what they were saying literally a few weeks ago. you've queued up very nicely something, because we've got a montage of some footage of what members of the government have previously said and other conservative politicians about the issue of suspending parliament, so let's ta ke issue of suspending parliament, so let's take a look. there is this idea from some people that to deliver brexit we should suspend our parliamentary democracy. that we should prorogue parliament. but that goes against everything that those men who waded onto those peaches fought and died for. and i will not have it. suspending, or as the constitutional experts call it, proroguing parliament in order to get no deal through i think would be wrong. proroguing parliament i

matt hancock as well. and it happen before that. if we really are in the biggest crisis since the war, again, it takes a big thing to deal with it. we were speaking to barry gardiner a moment ago. those who are opposed to this are coming in for a bit of flak right now for being, if you like, outsmarted. they said we will pick our moment and we will choose when we will make the big move and challenge the government, and then this happens. i can't remember who said yesterday that you do not bring a rule book to a gunfight, and that's effectively what has happened. boris johnson is that's effectively what has happened. borisjohnson is working within the law but perhaps not the spirit of it, and they have been outsmarted. they have had enough time, effectively. this has been in the running for a long time. there is now a very short period of time when parliament comes back in order to try and get some emergency legislation through, highly reliant on the speaker agreeing to that. his remarks yesterday suggest t

campaign castigating the idea of prorogation thrown back at them, in particular the health secretary matt hancock be an insult to the likes of the d—day veterans and theirfight forfreedom. likes of the d—day veterans and their fight for freedom. this morning this is what he had to say about that. good morning, how are you? barry gardner this morning saying his party kept open the option of pressing for a no—confidence vote but at the moment their prime strategy was to try to get some sort of legislation to ensure mrjohnson could not take us out without a deal. and he also accused mrjohnson of lying about his reasons for suspending parliament. it has been really quite ridiculous for numberten to it has been really quite ridiculous for number ten to say this is simply about normal politics, it is about getting on with the domestic agenda. everyone knows it is not the case, so everyone knows it is not the case, so the facility with which they have come out this morning and simply lied about it is really quite extraordinary. lied about? lied about what this is all about. it is about preventing the wi

health secretary matt hancock said the previous rules were "unfair".or doctors, it is good for the nhs and good for patients, meaning that people will always be there to treat you, which is what people expect and need from the nhs. is it an issue that the nhs needs more doctors? are you relying on staff because my goodwill to keep it afloat? we do need more staff in the nhs, we are putting £33 billion in over the next five years, meaning we need more people. but the first step to getting more people is to keep the people you have. people who work over time, work flexibly in the nhs, at the moment, under the existing rules, they sometimes face a huge tax bill for doing just a small amount of extra overtime. that is clearly unfair, it needs to change, andi clearly unfair, it needs to change, and i am delighted we are able to make these changes today and take action, so that the nhs aciphex ability it needs, doctors the pay they deserve. —— the nhs has the flexibility it needs. earlier, i spoke to phil de warren—penny, deputy chair of the british medical

the health secretary matt hancock has warned rebel conservative mps that they cannot stop boris johnsonment was asked if it wanted to stop a no—deal brexit, i thought that would go through and in fact, the government won by 11. that has changed my mind because the parliamentary arithmetic did not play out as i anticipated. so your message to the people in your own party, including the former chancellor, bear in mind, who say they want to block a no—deal brexit, they will be able to block a no—deal brexit, is, "well, iwould agree, it would be desirable but it simply cannot happen and will not happen." well, my view has always been that we have got to deliver on the result of the referendum and i think that the best way to do that is with a deal and the government as a whole, of course, that is best done with a deal. but we need to deliver on the 31st of october. to further discuss the likelihood of a no—deal brexit we are joined by vernon bogdanor — professor of politics at the new college of the humanities. thank you very much for coming in. a lot of opinions being expressed on social m

that was firmly denied by health secretary matt hancock.re, suspicion was that if there was anything up for sale, that would cause a lot of political flak, so they have denied it, but they don't know what this picture trade deal might look like after brexit. so the government will deny there is any agenda about privatisation and about opening the nhs up, but there will be many who feel that they cannot be totally certain about what might happen. there are a small number of private providers already in the nhs in england, about 7% doing contract work for the nhs, and one or two of these are controlled by american companies, but those contracts are firmly under the control of nhs commissioners. thank you, hugh pym, our health editor. and later in the day, we'll be asking what leaving the eu without a deal could mean for security, and citizens‘ rights. so please do get in touch with whatever questions you might have. the contact details are on your screen now. 15 million gas and electricity customers will see their bills reduced as a result of

hancock investment management. we think that does have legs into the end of the cycle. >> matt, i'll take the opposite side of somef that argument. this is jonathan we've seen, for now, a full ten-year cycle, weaker economic activity the underlying business investment has really been weak, you know, now since 2009, 2010 you got a little bit of a pickup right out of the gate with some tax incentives from the president. then they rolled over, but i think this is a bigger growth issue. by focusing only on a china trade dispute, i think underplaying the longer term trend here >> matt? >> yeah, you could break down the current administration into two different periods. there was the tax cut period in 2017 2017 yes, you saw global growth acceleration china was doing stimulus at that time as well really, since the beginning of 2018, as we all remember the washes machines and solar panel, the startsiing of tariffs there has been a hindrance to growth is it all of the picture no, it is not. but it is something that we're starting in the history books, we're going to look back at this period and see that a trade war regime
