PM announces in Birmingham his NHS commitments
David Cameron has used his first major speech since the Tory general election victory to renew his vow to boost NHS funding and create a "seven-day" service.
Speaking at a GP surgery in Birmingham, he said: "During the election campaign, a lot of rubbish was talked about my plans. So first of all today, I just want the record straight loud and clear.
"They said that we would cut the NHS, we haven't and we won't. In fact we increased spending in real-terms every year in the last parliament and we'll increase it in real-terms every year in this parliament too rising to at least an extra £8bn a year by 2020".
