Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Kirby and Simon Burns

Tuesday 7th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Burns]

I fully appreciate the hon. Gentleman’s concern, because particularly at this time of the year and throughout the winter months there is both an extra duty on the NHS and an increased problem. I can assure him that for over a month now, as is the custom, the NHS has been meeting regularly to plan for the winter and ensure that we have the services in place to help those who suffer falls or illnesses due to the inclement weather.

[Simon Kirby (Brighton, Kemptown) (Con)]
