- Opposition Day — [13th Allotted Day]: Volunteering (4 Jun 2008) has video
Tom Levitt: ...stand-alone or complementary to services provided by the public sector; they can even be integrated within public sector provision. I challenge anyone to go for an out-patient appointment at a typical acute hospital and not encounter several volunteers providing key services as they always have done, whether by raising money for a new machine, making tea, selling flowers, or carrying...
- Opposition Day — [15th Allotted Day]: Management of the National Health Service (9 May 2006)
Tom Levitt: The shadow Chief Whip is not in his place. The hon. Gentleman has criticised the words of some Conservative Members, and I am sure that the shadow Chief Whip will notice. Although there are no acute hospitals in the High Peak constituency, we have got a foundation three star hospital at Stockport Stepping hill, which is on the outskirts of my constituency, and a brand new hospital, which is...

Tom Levitt: ...Experience Corps for maintaining that tradition. The week before, at a meeting of the all-party group to which I referred, I was struck by a talk from the nursing manager of my local acute services hospital, the Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport. She described how an out-patient experience—we have to use the jargon these days—could have resulted in an individual arriving at...
- Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill: Clause 1 — NHS Foundation Trusts (19 Nov 2003)
Mr Tom Levitt: I intervened earlier to point out how a Liberal Democrat Member was supporting foundation hospitals in her locality but voting against them tonight. I do not want to criticise her or to make political capital out of that, but she was right to support foundation status for the Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport. It is an up to three star hospital that requires two new operating theatres in...
- Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill: Clause 1 — NHS Foundation Trusts (19 Nov 2003)
Mr Tom Levitt: I grew up in north Staffordshire and I had treatment in north Staffordshire hospitals, and I sympathise with my hon. Friend. I am explaining why no other hospitals will suffer because of my local hospital getting extra facilities. The hon. Member for Grantham and Stamford (Mr. Davies) explained how he did not think that the model worked. He is living in the past. As long as there is more...
- Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill: Clause 1 — NHS foundation trusts (19 Nov 2003)
Mr Tom Levitt: Like me, the hon. Member for Cheadle (Mrs. Calton), who is sitting with the hon. Gentleman on the Liberal Democrat Front Bench, supports the application of Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport for foundation status. Does the hon. Gentleman support his hon. Friend's campaign, which I share, for that hospital better to serve the citizens of Stockport and High Peak?
- Public Expenditure (20 Jul 2000)
Mr Tom Levitt: ...no home to go to. We should find a good home for private capital and use it to underpin public services. I have no conscience about using private money or any money from a legal source to give a good foundation to our public services. The last principle, which the right hon. Member for Wells completely missed the point of, is that we must plan for the long term. He said that the...
