Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.


Health and Education

What my hon. Friend the Member for Bury, North was about to point out is that we have got off second-stage complaints and the health innovation fund and on to the real meat and gravy of health services. The reconfiguration of maternity services in his constituency should have been carried out 40 years ago. Clinicians in the Manchester area say that they have been trying for 40 years to reconfigure maternity services to save babies' lives. The Conservatives, in another failed campaign, have said that there should be a moratorium on closures.
