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

It is not about EU law; it is about testing and ensuring that the tests are done by the people who are legally responsible for ensuring that GPs speak English before they provide out-of-hours care. That responsibility is currently with the PCTs. My concern is that those requirements be met—they are legal requirements, they ought to be being met now, and PCTs have been told that they must meet them.
