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


Family Doctor Services

I welcome my right hon. Friend's remarks. May I urge him not to give in to the calls for a free-for-all for GPs? It has not worked in cities such as Wolverhampton. As a bit of an old Labourite—I know that he is, too—I want a bit of planning. I want a bit of planning from the excellent Wolverhampton primary care trust, engaging with local people. However, I also want some accountability on the part of the PCT, because it is not as accountable as it should be. Even though it does an excellent job, we need more accountability by primary care trusts.
