Clause 2 - Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts
Health and Social Care(Community Health and Standards) Bill
9:45 am
Mr Simon Burns (West Chelmsford, Conservative)
I am fascinated by the hon. Gentleman's description of the Government's approach to hospitals applying for foundation status as sham-elitist. Given that his opposition on principle to foundation hospitals is well known through his votes on Second Reading and through some of his comments on the amendments, does the hon. Gentleman support his constituents who are affected by the application of the Nuffield hospital in Oxford for foundation status?
