Proceeding contribution from Howard Stoate (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 May 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Independent Sector Treatment Centres.

Independent Sector Treatment Centres

Does not it also drive a coach and horses through the idea of additionality? If the same consultants work in the independent sector and in the NHS trust, does not that undermine the very principle that the Government had in mind in the first place—that independent sector treatment centres should use staff who are additional to the NHS staff, rather than staff who are already in the NHS with the result that centres could be accused of having poached them from services that might have been provided to the NHS?
