Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.


NHS Reorganisation

When the Conservatives were in power, we had 47 trusts in the Scottish health service. Under the Scottish reorganisation, that figure has been reduced to 15. We also reduced the number of senior managers by 27 per cent. and those savings have gone into paying for front-line staff. Does the hon. Gentleman not welcome that?
