Proceeding contribution from Henry Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2012. It occurred during Emergency debate on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I think the biggest risk to the national health service is if we do not reform it and move it forward. It needs reform to stay relevant to the needs of all our constituents. I find the Opposition's position strange—I would put it down to political opportunism, but I am happy to take another intervention if Opposition Members want to state their case—given what happened with the three requests made when the right hon. Member for Leigh (Andy Burnham) was Secretary of State and under his predecessor.
