Gary asks his first Parliamentary Question using Zoom

This afternoon, Gary Streeter used the new Parliamentary Questions system to ask the Health Secretary an Oral Question from his front room.

Gary's question today focused on when routine, elective surgery can begin to happen in hospitals again to ensure we don't get too large a backlog.
