Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Out-of-Hours GP Services.
Out-of-Hours GP Services
Adequate coverage is indeed essential. As far as I am aware, there is not a ratio as such. However, we need to ensure that people do not have to wait a long time and that someone is available to come out within a reasonable time to ensure that the patient gets the necessary care. I have seen some of the statistics, as I am sure the hon. Lady has, on the numbers of patients and out-of-hours doctors. They vary considerably, and I want to engage with doctors' organisations to ensure that we do not need such a minimum standard.
