NHS Reorganisation

Proceeding contribution from David Tredinnick (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.
I am most grateful to you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for your help. I have made my point about Europe having to be involved. I also want to comment on the points made by my hon. Friend the Member for Basildon and Billericay (Mr Baron) and others about cancer care. Cancer patients can be much helped by integrated health care practitioners. I could cite many different hospitals, but I shall mention just one—Royal Surrey County hospital, which is a national health care award-winning hospital. It includes St Luke's cancer centre, which offers a wide range of complementary therapies in support of the health service. I want to see such choice widened. If herbal and nutritional medicines are used, that will reduce the costs of the health service referred to in the motion. Many institutions abroad, such as Australia's National Institute of Complementary Medicine, have shown Governments the way and enabled them to restructure services and provide cost savings. With those remarks, I very much hope that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State looks with care at what I have said about these benefits.
