Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.
Health and Education
Does my right hon. Friend agree that that system also leads to inefficiency? In my local hospital there is a brand new £97 million magnetic resonance imaging scanner, of which we are very proud. It is not being used, yet the private sector is bringing a van into the car park of a neighbouring hospital to carry out scanning. If that money was directed to the new capacity at my local hospital, it would be far more efficient than trying to generate the so-called market to which my right hon. Friend refers.
