Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Primary Care Trusts and Ambulance Trusts.


Primary Care Trusts and Ambulance Trusts

The right hon. Gentleman makes an important point. May I refer him to my statement, in which I gave a clear commitment to ensure that structures are in place in the new organisations so that local concerns can be aired or voiced? I therefore agree with him on that point. The new PCT is one of the larger PCTs that have been created today, with the benefit that it has a significant ability to drive up standards for residents. The important thing is to get the balance right, and we believe that, bearing in mind the points that he has made, we have done so.
