Proceeding contribution from Anne Snelgrove (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Access to NHS Services.
Access to NHS Services
The hon. Gentleman believes that reconfiguration should be halted and the medical profession should be listened to. However, what he recommends is the opposite of what is being said by Professor Roger Boyle, national director of Heart Disease and Stroke? He said that reorganising services could lead to 500 fewer deaths, 1,000 fewer heart attacks and 250,000 fewer serious complications such as stroke. Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that that is a firm medical basis on which to reconfigure services?
