As the Budget announced increased funding for the NHS over the next two years, the chair of the health select committee, Sarah Wollaston, says the government should not "look at health and social care as separate systems".

The Conservative MP and former GP tells Radio 4's World at One that "last year we saw extra emergency funding for social care - this year it has been extra emergency funding for the NHS. What we need to do is take a long-term view, with cross party support, looking to fund both systems together."
