Proceeding contribution from Charlotte Atkins (Labour) 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

I welcome the statement, but does my right hon. Friend agree that the best primary care trusts, such as Staffordshire Moorlands, are already pioneering much preventive work? For instance, the trust has introduced community matrons to work with vulnerable patients to prevent emergency admissions to hospitals, deep vein thrombosis testing, prevention of falls programmes and GPs’ surgeries every Saturday and Sunday in the local community hospital.
