National Health Service

HC Deb 06 July 1989 vol 156 c254W

Q219. Mr. Page

To ask the Prime Minister if she has received representations regarding the National Health Service.

The Prime Minister

The Government have received large numbers of representations on the National Health Service from members of the public, the professions, and various interest groups. Many share the Government's desire for a Health Service that gives patients more choice and rights as consumers, that is more responsive to the needs of local communities, and that builds on its existing successes and efficiency to give better value for money.
