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

Health Bill

I accept that PCTs are often well placed to drive up the level of provision in their area, but does my right hon. Friend understand the concerns of optometrists in my constituency, such as David Austen, who provides an excellent service but is fearful that quality may be reduced if the PCT is driven by the need to make economies? The changes should be about driving up standards, not reducing them to a level playing field.
