Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

We all know of cases where in the real world GPs have said to their patients, ““Go private and go early. Effectively, jump the queue””. That is going on all over the country and in certain parts it is happening on a great scale. If that is the case, what is to stop GPs working with governors and consultants to try to move patient activity more towards the development of private operations within National Health Service facilities? Will the impetus not come from GPs working in conjunction with consultants and governors who might be sympathetic to the cause?
