Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Lansley (Conservative), on Tuesday, 23 November 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 73 members in total.


NHS CHIROPODY SERVICES

That this House condemns the removal of hundreds of thousands of patients from chiropody lists who have not received treatment; is concerned that, where patients have been referred by general practitioners for treatment, the eligibility criteria set by primary care trusts or other local bodies vary considerably; notes the large differences in the availability of chiropody services in different regions of the country; believes that in the target culture of the NHS, the provision of services for which no targets exist will inevitably suffer; and calls on the Government to abandon all targets and allow clinicians to set priorities for the provision of healthcare.
