Proceeding contribution from Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).


Rural Communities (Recession)

I appreciate that in many rural areas it is more difficult to attract a certain number of applicants for positions, but at Westmorland general hospital there were consultants available and the unit was operating. It was a life-saving service, and many hundreds of people owe their lives to it. It would have continued had the trust allowed it to do so, and had the trust been accountable it would never have got away with closing it.
