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
My hon. Friend raises an important point. We want to give PCTs the ability to secure the best services for people in their area, and that is exactly what we are doing by devolving responsibility for dental services—[Interruption.] Yes, they will be able to respond to some of the very real problems that we are addressing. On ophthalmic services, PCTs will be able to use a wider range of providers to obtain the services that people need. The changes will simplify entry requirements for the provision of NHS services and help to support better service provision.
