Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.

NHS Reorganisation

Does my hon. Friend agree, given her experience in her own area, that PCTs had a difficult task in dealing with rural areas in particular, and that some have made a superb job of it? Mendip PCT, in my area, has really got to grips with delivering primary health care in a rural area. It is a great shame if that is now to be put at risk by reorganisation—by putting the PCT into a bigger structure that simply will not have the same feel or be able to cope with the difficulties of scale associated with rural areas.
