Business question from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House apologise to my constituents for saying a moment ago that there had been no cuts in the NHS under Labour? My acute hospital has been decimated: the accident and emergency unit has been closed, as have the maternity unit, the intensive care unit and the high-dependency unit. All the beds have been closed. The diagnostic unit has stayed open, along with the out-patients and minor injuries units. Is that really what the Leader of the House meant by "no cuts" in the NHS under Labour?
