Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 September 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Accident and Emergency Services.


Accident and Emergency Services

The hon. Lady has mentioned the statistics and the increased number of inappropriate self-referrals. She is probably also aware, because she is extraordinarily well informed on the issue, that GPs are referring more people than hitherto to A and E. Therefore primary care—the GP setting—is not the answer. The answer is probably the minor injuries unit.
