Proceeding contribution from David Curry (Conservative) 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)

But does the Secretary of State accept that two patients can have an identical operation carried out in the same hospital by the same consultant, but because they live in different PCT areas one will have that operation paid for whereas the other will have to pay for it himself or herself? Does he understand the resentment that that provokes? What can be done to remedy the problem?
