Patient Safety

I thank the Chair of the Select Committee for introducing the debate. The House has allocated us three hours—or until 5.30—in which to discuss the report. There is no requirement for us to fill those three hours. There is sufficient time for everybody to have their say. Let me inform Members that we have two doctors, two nurses, a pharmacist and a research immunologist among us, so we can safely say that the expertise and experience of the outside world is brought into this Chamber.
