Proceeding contribution from Gordon Birtwistle (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Reform.
NHS Reform
The Secretary of State is aware that under the Labour Government, accident and emergency and children's services were transferred from Burnley to Blackburn. The transfer was opposed by the majority of GPs and 95% of the local community. It was supported only by the bureaucrats in the PCT and the SHA and by prima donna consultants. Will the Secretary of State confirm that under his new proposals that will never happen again and that such decisions will be taken only following full consultation and agreement with GPs and local communities, rather than being driven through as they were by the previous Government?
