Proceeding contribution from Gordon Birtwistle (Liberal Democrat) 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
I shall support the Bill, because it will mean an end to the disruption and devastation of local hospital services owing to overpaid, faceless bureaucrats in palatial offices many miles from people's local hospitals deciding that a particular service is no longer needed or is better off elsewhere. The Bill's local democratic legitimacy policy strives to ensure that decisions on serious hospital reconfigurations never again ride roughshod over the wishes of the local community.
