Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Access to NHS Services.


Access to NHS Services

It is impossible to explain to my constituents that taking away consultant-led maternity services, special care baby units and 24/7 paediatric cover in a general hospital that has had those services for years—Barbara Castle set up the inquiry that led to 24/7 paediatrics at Horton general hospital—is an improvement in NHS services. Conservative Members are not making partisan points, and the campaign in Banbury involves Labour councillors and others. We just want to maintain the existing level of NHS services.
