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


Rural Communities (Recession)

To give a perspective from the other end of the country, upper gastrointestinal cancer services have been transferred out of Treliske, and the surgeon now has to travel up to Derriford to undertake surgery. Although it might be necessary to centralise services, in Cornwall we are seeing the salami-slicing of services that are going up the line. Why cannot rural areas have a centre of excellence too? That is the frustration.
