Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Emergency Care.
Emergency Care
The Secretary of State lectures us about the working time directive, but ignores the point that really matters. There was an agreement in the Council of Ministers to change the definition of ““resident on call”” so that it related to time spent actually working at night rather than all the time when one is resident but asleep. That is a critical issue, so will the Secretary of State explain why Labour Members of the European Parliament voted against the Council of Ministers' compromise, the purpose of which was to enable us to interpret resident on call in a way that worked for the national health service?
