Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The hon. Lady knows full well that a significant increase in resources has been made available to the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire strategic health authority. If she is not aware of the figures, let me tell her that there are 2,975 more nurses, 659 more doctors and 168 more consultants. That is a huge change in the numbers of people available to serve her constituents. Clearly, they require paying for, but in paying for those extra resources available to her constituents, it is important that the management of those resources is as effective as possible.
