Proceeding contribution from Neil Gerrard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Next Stage Review.


NHS Next Stage Review

My right hon. Friend said that he would ask the independent reconfiguration panel to consider any decisions about hospital changes that are referred to him while the review is under way. Will he look into some of the reviews that are now under way? The ““fit for the future”” review has major implications for hospitals in north-east London, but I do not believe that it has been carried out in the transparent and accountable way that he suggests is needed, or that front-line staff have had serious involvement with patients. It seems highly unlikely that any recommendations arising from the review will fit the criteria that he says he wants to apply.
