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
I entirely agree with the hon. Gentleman and he will no doubt have noticed from what we have said over two and a half years that we very much support exactly this notion, but he has not mentioned NHS Direct. We are clearly in favour of a single national telephone number, which would replace 0845 46 47, but NHS Direct must be franchised into the same system, so that it is not separate from the system that he describes but is an integral part of it.
