This is what Rishi Sunak said in his clip for broadcasters in response to claims that today's King's Fund report (see 9.28am) showed the NHS was going in the wrong direction" under the Conservatives. He replied:

One of the my five priorities is to count NHS waiting lists. That's why we've put record sums into the NHS since I became prime minister, with record numbers of doctors, nurses, and new ways of doing things which are starting to make a difference.

But we also need to make the decisions that will modernise the NHS for the long term. Today's example, rolling out lung cancer screening, will really help improve survival rates for lung cancer, something where we are behind other countries, but today's announcement will help to fix that.
