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

NHS White Paper

The Secretary of State has been asked by many Members about the accountability of GPs, and he has not answered. Some £80 billion is to be pumped through GPs, who will then buy in services. Who manages them? Who monitors them? Who checks on what they are doing? Will we get value for money or, as my right hon. Friend the Member for Oldham West and Royton (Mr Meacher) said, will the system in reality be administered by private health companies, just as GPs are private contractors in the NHS?
