Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (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 express a counter-balancing view? I am not at all sure that my right hon. Friend will be able to "reach the right place". I think that the fact that NHS institutions—foundation trusts—carry out private procedures is a distraction from their core business. I am saddened that they continue to do that, and extremely saddened that they now want to bust the cap—a bit like universities with top-up fees—and get away with charging more for private services. I urge my right hon. Friend to go in the other direction and ban the whole thing.
