Proceeding contribution from Mark Simmonds (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Out-of-Hours Care.

Out-of-Hours Care

I will come to a comment from the BMA in a moment, but the hon. Gentleman should be cautious: he will be aware that the gentleman to whom he has referred has recently been quoted as saying that the prevalent view among GPs is that the Labour party is the enemy of the NHS. I hope to have an informed debate about out-of-hours care this afternoon, to ensure that Ministers in the Department of Health understand the seriousness of the failings currently occurring.
