Business of the House (9 May 2013)

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — A and E Waiting Times (23 April 2013)

Heidi Alexander: Does my hon. Friend agree not only that there are fewer community nurses, but that those who still remain have much enhanced work loads, which means the time spent with each individual patient is reduced? That, too, causes problems with the quality of care provided in the community.

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — A and E Waiting Times (23 April 2013)

Heidi Alexander: I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for Cynon Valley (Ann Clwyd) on securing this debate. What struck me when listening to the contributions from all parties represented in Westminster Hall this morning is the consensus that exists about the fact that we need to hear from the Government their vision for accident and emergency services. I agree entirely with the comments of the...

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — A and E Waiting Times (23 April 2013)

Heidi Alexander: I said that the whole process was deceitful and potentially dangerous. A legal challenge about Lewisham is under way. We have to await the outcome of that to see what the future holds for Lewisham. I stand by my remarks. The process was not really open from the outset. My final point has already been mentioned. We need to work out exactly how we stop people going into A and E who do not need...

Ways and Means — Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation: amendment of the Law (22 March 2013)

Heidi Alexander: It is a pleasure to follow two excellent speeches from fellow female Labour London MPs. The hon. Member for North East Somerset (Jacob Rees-Mogg) said that households should now be able to afford to spend. That might be the case for his constituents, but it is not the case for mine. It certainly does not feel that way to them, as they struggle hard to make ends meet on a daily basis. I want...

Department for Communities and Local Government — New Housing Supply (5 March 2013)

Heidi Alexander: It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Damian Collins). I did not agree with everything he said, but I certainly agree with his last point that it is just plain wrong that, in the 21st century, we are paying money through housing benefit to slum landlords. I will probably pick up on that theme later. I congratulate the Chair of the Select Committee, my hon....

Department for Communities and Local Government — New Housing Supply (5 March 2013)

Heidi Alexander: I totally agree with my hon. Friend, and our hon. Friend the Member for Hammersmith (Mr Slaughter) made a similar point. We are lining the pockets of private landlords on an industrial scale. There are no two ways about it. Another suggestion I would put to the Minister relates to public land. The Government often talk about releasing public land to deliver new homes. There is a lot of...
