Who won?
David Cameron was shifty on the hard figures, as always, as Ed Miliband pressed him on how many statutory bodies would make up the NHS after the government’s top-down reorganisation. Miliband had to supply him with the answer, something which is par for the course at PMQs these days, and ask if this is what was meant by the ‘bonfire of the quangos’? Cameron was similarly slippery on how much was being spent on making NHS redundant – £852m, as Labour’s leader informed us – and appeared ignorant of any responsibility in how the NHS might behave as he dodged the invitation to guarantee these would not be expensively rehired by the new replacement bits of bureaucracy he is installing. He has perhaps forgotten that the latest reforms to his, er, health reforms, have reinstated political responsibility for the health service to the secretary of state for health, rather than farming it out to the chief executive, which would have made it the biggest quango in the world and much too big for any bonfire. But perhaps he’ll claim first among equals vis-à-vis his heath secretary to dodge responsibility and obscure his poor eye for detail – or even for the big picture – of reforms.

Best backbencher
Alison McGovern, who asked whether the prime minister supported costly tax breaks for private healthcare – called for recently by Tory backbenchers – at a time when the NHS is suffering in her native Wirral. McGovern actually managed to extract an answer from Cameron: ‘No!’ was his sole response, slapping down his unruly colleagues in the process.

Best question, answer, comment or joke
Not an intentional joke by the look of it, but the prime minister came up with a good pun in response to Gary Streeter’s congratulations to Lord Bates for walking from Greece to the UK to raise awareness of the Olympic Truce. Cameron was quick to laud Lord Bates’ ‘great feat’, and not his ‘great feet’, though presumably his great feet have not a little to do with it.
