Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 April 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Modernising Medical Careers.


Modernising Medical Careers

Further to the point made by our hon. Friend the Member for Buckingham (John Bercow), how do I explain to my constituents at the Horton hospital that we are likely to lose 24/7 consultant-led paediatrics, consultant-led obstetrics and a special care baby unit in the near future, because we have been told that there are insufficient doctors? How is a community like north Oxfordshire to accept on the one hand that there is a substantial downgrading of NHS services in Banbury and the surrounding area in a way that has never taken place before while on they other it can see that junior doctors are being thrown on to the scrapheap?
