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


Health Bill

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for giving way before she discusses smoking. In her responses to interventions by Labour Members, she did not appear to give an assurance that she would not allow PCTs to restrict patients’ choice of ophthalmic practitioner. Will she assure the House that she will carry out a full review of general ophthalmic services, in consultation with the profession, so that people in England receive the same quality of treatment as is available in Wales and Scotland?
