Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on NHS Deficits.


NHS Deficits

What makes sense for the NHS as a whole is to ensure that it does not have loose priorities. The hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Mr. Willis), for whom I have great respect, said that we should aim to achieve a financial balance, but that it should not be the be all and end all. However, it is crucial for the future stability of the NHS that in the system, there is rigour and discipline that perhaps have not been evident in the past.
