NHS Reorganisation

I am sorry that my hon. Friend, whom I regard as a very dear friend, takes such a strong opposite view to me. I do not agree with her. I believe that, increasingly, patients will want to know from their GPs the recovery rates for different surgeons and how they perform, as well as how, for example, a hospital performs on MRSA. Those are exactly the kind of questions that people will be asking. Increasingly, they will be able to get the information not only from their GP, but from the internet, where more and more hospitals are providing precisely that kind of information to the patients who receive services from them.
