Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

Is not one thing that the report highlights the effect of change, which can create huge cost differences? Frimley Park hospital, a foundation hospital that serves my constituency of North-East Hampshire, has hugely increased the costs that it charges to my primary care trust. As a result, the hospital will end up with a £17 million surplus, whereas my primary care trust has a huge deficit. Is it not that change that we need to address in our debate?
