Proceeding contribution from Helen Jones (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

Well, the hon. Gentleman mentioned community hospitals and if he will allow me, I will quote the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve), who said"““there are occasions when community hospitals have to be closed. Politicians, we may not like saying it, but we’ve all fought for our community hospitals. Some community hospitals are very old and can’t really be done up. So difficult decisions do have to be taken.””" Does the hon. Gentleman agree with his hon. Friend or not?
