NHS Reorganisation

There are grave concerns about the proposals. I do not know the situation in Guildford and that part of the country, although I was the European parliamentary candidate for Guildford many years ago; indeed, I cycled over the Hog’s Back between Guildford and South-West Surrey. I lost that election by 60,000 votes, however, so it is a part of my life that I do not care to remember. The situation in the hon. Lady’s constituency may well be as she describes, but my concern is what will happen in Leicester, and how responsive the changes to PCTs will be to the needs of my constituents.
