Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (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
May I give two cheers for my hon. Friend’s announcement about Staffordshire ambulance service? It is the best performing ambulance service in the country, and it would have been inexplicable to have merged it. The Government deserve great credit for not forcing such a merger. Will my hon. Friend get a third cheer by giving the assurance for which he has been asked on several occasions—that no merger in future, whether in 2008 or at any other time, will take place until the standard of the service with which it is intended to merge has reached the standards, including the response time standards, of the Staffordshire service? That is the crucial guarantee that my hon. Friend has to give.
