However, we recognise that the NHS remains under pressure – with high demand on its services caused by the UK’s ageing population and rapidly advancing technology. The government acted in response to these challenges at Budget 2017 and provided £6.3 billion in new funding for the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>The government is clear that it considers it important that everyone has access to suitable insurance at the right price. However, we do not intervene in non-compulsory insurance matters. It is up to individuals to decide whether to take out private health insurance.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 22/01/2018 11:09:20 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
