Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Emergency Care.
Emergency Care
The high-tech end of medicine is extremely important, but would my hon. Friend agree that the wholesale closure of community hospitals has put considerable pressure on accident and emergency departments? In my area, for example, health care professionals are in no doubt that the closure of community hospitals has caused an increasing number of elderly and vulnerable people to end up in casualty departments, which is exactly where they should not be in the context of their long-term treatment.
