NHS Reorganisation

Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.
I wanted to intervene to discuss what my right hon. Friend the Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Frank Dobson) said about Great Ormond Street hospital. I have the official record of what was said at health questions, to which the Secretary of State referred. He said that the proposal would have"““the overall effect of reducing Great Ormond Street's total income by less than 2%.””—[Official Report, 2 November 2010; Vol. 517, c. 754.]" How does he reconcile that with the trust's figures, which say that the reduction will not be less than 2%, but will be more than 5.5%? Would he like, therefore, to correct the official record now? Will he also publish the figures so that this House and Members who represent these areas can make up their own minds about whether those big stealth cuts to the hospitals that treat many of our most critically ill kids are a good idea?
