Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (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 grateful for my right hon. Friend's reassurance about polyclinics. When I first heard the word, I thought that a polyclinic was for treating people who were as sick as a parrot; clearly, I was wrong. Will my right hon. Friend clarify exactly how, in principle, a polyclinic is different from, for example, the three GP practices in Buxton, where five, six or more GPs, practice nurses and other health professionals work in one area in a system that has evolved over the years to provide better health care for people locally?
