Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Health and Social Care Services.


Health and Social Care Services

The Government were elected on a manifesto promising encouragement of community hospitals in our national health service. If the Secretary of State’s words today are to mean anything, will she consider the situation in my constituency, where two out of four community hospitals have already closed their in-patient facilities and where the other two are in a parlous predicament? Whatever the arguments are about finance and deficits, that is simply unacceptable to my constituents.
