Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS: Community Hospitals.


NHS: Community Hospitals

My Lords, I welcome these proposals, but how will local populations be able to put pressure on primary care trusts to establish local hospitals? I fear that there will be some inertiain transferring services from acute hospitals to community hospitals. What pressure can be put on the primary care trust to establish these community hospitals, which may sometimes be extremely difficult?
