Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (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
Oh dear, Mr Deputy Speaker. It is hard for this Government, who have decimated social care, to lecture us about it. Between 2005 and 2010, A and E waits fell. That was after the GP contract was
signed. Let us have some facts. We did much to support social care and to deliver an NHS with the lowest ever waiting lists and the highest ever patient satisfaction.
The second point in our A and E rescue plan concerns safe staffing levels—another aspect that we have raised repeatedly with the Secretary of State.
