Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Emergency Care.
Emergency Care
That is very kind of the Minister. On specialist trauma units, does he agree that getting people with strokes and other such conditions straight to the right place, rather than to any old accident and emergency facility—only for them to have to be transferred later—is crucial in preventing deaths and disability? And does he therefore accept that the Tory motion is, at best, very poorly drafted, because choice is not the relevant factor for trauma patients, but speed and specialist centre provision are?
