Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rishi Sunak and Alistair Burt

Tuesday 7th July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Rishi Sunak (Richmond (Yorks)) (Con)]

Last week, Reeth medical centre in my constituency received an “outstanding” Care Quality Commission rating. Will my right hon. Friend join me in congratulating it and recognise that small practices in rural areas are still an important part of our healthcare system?

[Alistair Burt]

I am always ready and very willing to congratulate rural practices and general practices anywhere on the work done by our family doctors and those in primary care. It is so important and it is nice that they get a big boost and a thank you every now and again, which they do not get nearly often enough. My dad would be really pleased, thank you.
