Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 December 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS (Five Year Forward View).
NHS (Five Year Forward View)
I welcome the additional money. My right hon. Friend is right that health providers need a stable financial environment, but many of them have been left with a debilitating legacy of debt. The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust in my own area has a legacy of debt, which is just a fraction of the amount by which the Government have admitted that they have underfunded the local health economy over many years. Rather than having distorting activity going on in that trust, would it not be better for it to start with a clean sheet of paper and to build for the future rather than constantly having to work from a position of debt?
