Proceeding contribution from Howard Stoate (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].


Health Bill [Lords]

May I be the first to congratulate my right hon. Friend on his new post? I am sure that he will do a splendid job, building on the amazing work that has already happened in the health service. Far from 18 weeks being the target, many people in my area are seen well before that. When I, as a practising GP, see somebody with suspected cancer, I can often get them seen in a few days. That was unthinkable five years ago. I therefore congratulate my right hon. Friend and the whole team on such a remarkable achievement.
