Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 June 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
The Minister is introducing a red herring. I have already said that it is impossible to say what would happen in a medical emergency. However, what the country wants is clear: treatment for our service personnel in appropriate circumstances. In my view, those appropriate circumstances are exclusively military units in NHS facilities. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to want. Ministers might now and again like to take decisions and govern rather than waiting for the chiefs of staff. Why cannot Ministers take the decision to do what large parts of the House and the country want?
