Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on NHS Deficits.

NHS Deficits

The hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley), speaking from the Conservative Benches, raised a very important point. Does the Chairman of the Select Committee agree that there is an inherent contradiction between a primary care trust, which has a finite budget to manage, and foundation trusts within that PCT, which have a ““payment by results””, more open-ended agenda? There are two conflicting arrangements there, which are certainly not conducive to balancing the books.
