We are pleased that 10 of the 20 sittings so far programmed are devoted to the important section on foundation hospitals, an issue on which there is so much dissent in the Labour party. However, I am also grateful to the Government that we are able to reserve the position and consider further...
- New NHS Resources (11 Dec 2002)
Mrs Cheryl Gillan: How free will the foundation trust hospitals actually be? For example, will such a hospital be able to enter into its own private finance initiative project?
