Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Health Inequalities.


Health Inequalities

I totally support my hon. Friend's comments, but does he accept that there is also a problem within areas? A problem with semi-rural constituencies is that people living in the more rural areas who do not have income to support them are often very disadvantaged in health terms. It is important that we drill down—I suppose that is the in term—to look below the macro picture at what is happening on the ground. Does he agree?
