Business question from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Is it possible for the Secretary of State for Health to make a statement on intensive care bed provision in this country? In east Lancashire, it is proposed to close the intensive care bed delivery in Burnley general hospital and move it to Blackburn. That may be convenient for those who provide the service, but it will cause difficulties for those who receive it, especially people who live in rural areas such as the Ribble valley. Will the Leader of the House state today that the Government do not support the closure of intensive care beds in rural areas?
