Proceeding contribution from Sandra Gidley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Family Doctor Services.


Family Doctor Services

I agree with my hon. Friend about the one-size-fits-all solution. One of my local surgeries deals with a lot of commuters, and it has devised a scheme whereby people can e-mail their doctor and get a response on a certain day. Often, it is not a case of needing to see a doctor so much as needing to ask a question and getting reassurance, which might not be available from someone who does not know the patient. Would my hon. Friend support more such schemes being developed in the future?
