Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (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
Does my right hon. Friend agree that the most significant change in the Bill was not mentioned by the Secretary of State? It is that the Bill introduces price competition into a market that, up to now, has allowed competition only on quality. The London School of Economics, citing academic evidence, states clearly that"““most international evidence suggests that, whereas hospital competition with fixed prices can improve quality, simultaneous price and quality competition can actually make things worse””."
