NHS Reorganisation

Proceeding contribution from Paul Truswell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.
Does my hon. Friend agree that Conservative Members have a brass neck when it comes to talking about changing the NHS? He has been a Member for longer than me. Does he remember the hugely expensive chaos that was caused by so-called general management, when our area got the manager of a biscuit company to run the NHS? The family practitioner committee became the family health services authority, and that authority amalgamated with the district health authority. The district health authority was then split between three provider trusts and a commissioning health authority, but the commissioning function was then divided between a health authority and a family health services authority. Are we not hearing absolute doublespeak from Conservative Members?
