Business question from Nadine Dorries (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Bedford hospital, which cares for my constituents, has just closed two wards. It is £8.5 million in deficit, and as part of its recovery plan, has announced a list of further closures. It will restrict neo-natal services for premature babies, stop 10 theatre sessions a week, close a ward at weekends, close the Mulberry unit—the list goes on and on. Those cuts in services are affecting patients on the front line. Will the Minister make time for a debate so that we can all discuss in more detail the NHS deficits that affect all our constituencies, and the effect on the most vulnerable people who need the services?
