Proceeding contribution from Baroness Bray of Coln (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

My right hon. Friend will be aware that there has recently been an excellent reorganisation of stroke treatment in London, with a number of hospitals earmarked as emergency centres, all of which, crucially, are within 30 minutes of every Londoner. Once patients have been through the emergency procedures and are stabilised, they are returned to local stroke centres, which are also earmarked as part of the whole programme. Can he reassure me that that kind of regional organisation of hospitals, which has delivered good results, will not suffer through some of the proposed reforms?
