Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 October 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Private Sector (NHS).


Private Sector (NHS)

I endorse everything that the hon. Gentleman said, and through him ask why it is felt that the proposal has anything to do with competition or contestability. There will not be competition. Will not there be a huge vested interest if BUPA runs the commissioning in Oxfordshire on whom it buys from? Which private company will offer its prices to executives from BUPA or United Health? Yes, the proposal is radical—radically stupid.
