Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Burns and Sarah Newton

Tuesday 22nd November 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Burns]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his question, although I will disappoint him by saying that I will not be led from my chosen path and start to voice an opinion. I will say, as I did say during the earlier debate that he attended, that of course it is not set in stone that there will be only four options chosen, as and when—the number could be more. That is dependent on the consultations and the decision of the JCPCT, but he will appreciate that I cannot seek to influence those decisions.

[Sarah Newton (Truro and Falmouth) (Con)]

4. What steps he is taking to reduce the burden of debt for NHS hospitals.
