Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.
Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 4)
I understand and respect the sincerity of the principle that my hon. Friend is describing, but can he reassure me, particularly given his understanding of the NHS and how health systems work, that under these proposals it would not be possible for within a hospital for a foundation trust to drive some of the NHS patients towards the private arm of the activities that they undertake, particularly in the case of procedures that are exactly the same in the private and the public sector?
