NHS Reorganisation

Proceeding contribution from Lisa Nandy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Reorganisation.
In my constituency of Wigan, despite the extreme and visible progress that we have made in the past 13 years of Labour Government, there are still significant health inequalities. In fact 129 per 100,000 people in my constituency die of coronary heart disease, compared to 90 nationally. I know that my hon. Friend shares my concerns, but does she agree that, at a time when we should be addressing those health inequalities and continuing to invest in the NHS, it is an absolute scandal that we are spending the amount of money that she suggests?
