Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mohammad Yasin and Jeremy Hunt

Tuesday 10th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hunt]

May I apologise to the hon. Gentleman if he has not had a prompt reply to any letters to me or my Department? I will look into the issue that he raises and ensure that he gets a rapid response.

[Mohammad Yasin (Bedford) (Lab)]

Yesterday the private ambulance service that provided non-urgent patient transport at Bedford hospital ceased trading, leaving the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust to pick up the pieces. Will the Minister order an inquiry to establish what went wrong, and does he agree that using private companies to run key services for our NHS is simply not working?
