Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 June 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Accident and Emergency Waiting Times.
Accident and Emergency Waiting Times
Before my right hon. Friend gets on to his plan, may I ask him a question? Given the chaos that he has described throughout the whole country—in London, ambulance queues have doubled in the past couple of years—why does he think that the Secretary of State believes it is sensible to downgrade the A and E service at Lewisham and divert tens of thousands of people to other hospitals where the ambulances are queuing all down the road?
