Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Family Doctor Services.
Family Doctor Services
No I will not give way, I am afraid. The hon. Member for Peterborough (Mr. Jackson) suggests that extended opening will be used only by yuppies in four-wheel drive cars who are about to fly off on holiday. I have to say that where we have had extended opening, whether it is in Barking and Dagenham or Tower Hamlets, the patients accessing services in the evenings and Saturday mornings are not four-wheel-car-driving yuppies, but blue-collar workers, who otherwise have to take time off work and lose money from their pay packets.
