Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

The hon. Gentleman is doing exactly what he did in that debate two weeks ago, and ignoring the fact that with modern medical techniques and technology, far more operations can be done on a day-case basis. He is also confusing acute beds with beds available for mental health patients, for whom far more treatment is being carried out within the community.
