Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Family Doctor Services.


Family Doctor Services

I announced last July that there would be no more structural reorganisation in the NHS—no more changes to strategic health authorities and no more merging of PCTs—and we have kept to that. As I hope the hon. Gentleman will accept when I come to the gist of my speech, we are not imposing a top-down measure. We are providing £250 million for investment in the expansion of the primary care service, mostly to take services away from hospitals and bring them into local communities. That is the major reason for the investment.
