Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Reform.


NHS Reform

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend. Before the election, the previous Labour Government said that it was necessary to save up to £20 billion in efficiencies in the NHS, but they never said they would reinvest that money in the NHS. We have said that we will reinvest it. In order to deliver those efficiencies, 10% of that gain will be achieved by cutting the costs of bureaucracy and administration. We have set out how we will do that, but the previous Government never did.
