Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Out-of-Hours Care.
Out-of-Hours Care
In a situation that often arises, when a family with a sick child has to decide whether to ring the out-of-hours doctor, who may arrive in two hours from 60 or 70 miles away and may then call an ambulance, they tend to call the ambulance straight away, because at least the child will then be taken to hospital, even if that is not the right clinical decision.
