Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS White Paper.


NHS White Paper

Some of the greatest health inequalities occur in areas of the greatest deprivation, which are not infrequently areas that are not attractive to GPs. We also have in London a very large number of people who have never registered, and will never register, with a GP. They tend to use accident and emergency departments. How will their medical needs be presented to this top-down body, the NHS commissioning agent, when there can be no input from GPs? If I read the Secretary of State's statement correctly, GPs' recommendations will be disregarded by the NHS commissioning board.
