Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Burstow and Lord Watts

Tuesday 26th April 2011 Commons Chamber

[Paul Burstow]

My hon. Friend’s point is important and I regularly receive correspondence about this from hon. Members from all parts of this House. If she wishes to write to me, I will be happy to discuss the matter with her further, once I have had a chance to look at the details.

[Mr Dave Watts (St Helens North) (Lab)]

Given that Department of Health officials are actively discussing the privatisation of my local trust behind closed doors and are signing secret documents, will the Minister publish all those documents and will he make a statement in the House about the Government’s plans to privatise some of our NHS hospitals?
