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 am tempted to say that, if a bedpan falls on the floor in a Wolverhampton hospital, I expect it to echo around Whitehall, to paraphrase Nye Bevan's famous centralising edict. My hon. Friend and the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire make a fair point about PCT accountability. As part of the review and our attempts to construct a constitution for the NHS's 60th birthday, we need to introduce greater accountability, especially as we distribute to PCTs a far greater proportion of the central pot than we have ever done.
