Demonstration over GP funding cuts in east London

Hundreds of people in Whitechapel have demonstrated against cuts to the NHS which protesters claim could lead to the closure of GP surgeries.

BBC London reporter Richard Slee spoke to GP Dr Spiros Symniaou, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow Rushnara Ali, and local resident Danny Curry.
