Proceeding contribution from Stephen O'Brien (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].

Health Bill [Lords]

That is the whole point of involving private income. As the Minister would be the first to admit, to some degree the issue is a matter for the foundation trusts. As he knows, under the current arrangements for private patient income, those who are not necessarily NHS patients are being treated in NHS facilities. The answer is not as black and white as the Minister might wish it to be, but I have given the right answer even according to his Government’s policies. I have simply recycled for the right hon. and learned Gentleman what is going on under his policies.
