Proceeding contribution from Ann Keen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Health Care in London.


Health Care in London

All the proposals are being considered clinically and in the appropriate way. [Hon. Members: "Ah!"] Opposition Members must not read anything into that. Their scaremongering is at its height in tonight's debate, but we will not take any more scaremongering this evening. Many of the polyclinics that have been set up, including the Heart of Hounslow clinic in my constituency and another in Hammersmith and Fulham, are making a huge difference to what takes place in A and E departments. London's A and E departments are used and sometimes abused differently than those in the rest of the country. The way forward is to bring primary care into polyclinics—[Interruption.]
