Proceeding contribution from Joan Walley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 March 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is a problem with payment by results? In north Staffordshire, we have a hospital on two different sites. Given the formula by which the hospital is paid by the PCT for the different procedures that are carried, and if there is such an imbalance on top of all the other social inequalities, it stands to reason that we are heading for a deficit. Indeed, we have just reached that situation: we are looking at about 1,000 job losses.
