Proceeding contribution from Lord Blunkett (Labour) 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

On bottom-up decision making at a local level, will the Secretary of State give a guarantee to the House that if the GPs now coming together in consortia decide that they wish to employ the expertise residing in the current primary care trust, he and the future health board will not intervene to stop them doing that? Will he also guarantee that he will not insist on redundancies that cost a fortune and preclude that expertise being available to the existing local consortia, with private enterprises then employing them to do the job that they were doing in the first place?
