Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on NHS Deficits.
NHS Deficits
Does the Minister accept that in pursuing a financial balance, decisions and actions can be taken that make perfect financial sense, but are economically illogical? For instance, if the mega-doughnut around the city of Leicester places a veto on a particular practice in the north of the county, and it prevents Derbyshire royal infirmary from receiving referrals for elective treatment for a two-month period towards the end of the financial year, the DRI, which would otherwise have provided that treatment, lies partly idle for want of those referrals. That is not economic sense, is it?
