Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.
Health and Education
I agree with what the hon. Gentleman said about the out-of-hours service. Does he agree that one of the strange precursors of the present situation was the fact that the GPs who always used to be on call were given the option of taking a very modest reduction in their income in order to shed that major responsibility? Was not the present disaster an entirely predictable outcome of their being given that choice?
