Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Patients (Access to Medicines).

NHS Patients (Access to Medicines)

In terms of what has gone on before today, I can assure the right hon. Gentleman and the House that the old guidance has gone and the new guidance replaces it with immediate effect. What has happened before will be for PCTs to deal with. In the Linda O'Boyle case, the PCT refunded the money. I would not like to make those decisions for them because all kinds of circumstances could be involved, but I think the PCT in Southend set a good example.
