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


NHS Next Stage Review

How will the Secretary of State’s statement help my constituent, Mrs. Ruby Waterer, a 79-year-old, who went to hospital with an eye complaint only to be told that she would go blind if she did not have three injections. When Mrs. Waterer asked when she could have those, she was told that she could not have them on the NHS, but that she could go down the road a couple of miles and have them done privately for £3,300. That is not the Government’s intention, so how will the Secretary of State help Mrs. Waterer?
