Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (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 hon. Friend rightly emphasises quality ahead of cost, but surely both should be considered. In a time of constrained budgets, it is entirely right that commissioners use a service of comparable quality, which can deliver for patients at a lower cost, when they can find one, precisely so that they have additional funds available to look after other patients.
