King Edward VII Hospital (26 Apr 2006)

Andrew Tyrie: I am glad to have secured the debate. It is a tragedy that King Edward VII hospital in Midhurst should have been forced to close; it was a unique, independent, non-profit making charitable foundation. Most independent hospitals like it were victims of Nye Bevan's nationalisation programme in the 1940s. This hospital was one of the few that got away. Its structure should have enabled it to...

King Edward VII Hospital (26 Apr 2006)

Andrew Tyrie: .... I made that point at the beginning of my remarks. That is why a former Minister—I did not ask permission to quote him, so I shall not name him—told me that this is exactly the sort of hospital that should serve as a template for what foundation hospital status means.

Royal West Sussex NHS Trust (6 Jul 2005)

Andrew Tyrie: ...things to be decided entirely by their officials in discussions with various interest groups, but to try to think through the issues from first principles. The York study on economies of scale in hospital care—the most famous study, although it is a relatively old one—suggested that there were no economies of scale above about 200 or 250-bed hospitals.

King Edward VII Hospital, Midhurst (22 Jan 2003)

Mr Andrew Tyrie: ...-claim in the local, regional and, to some degree, national press about the reason for the closure, so I want to get some basic facts straight.

The hospital has a 125-bed capacity and can treat 400 cardiac, 2,000 radiotherapy and 3,000 hip...

I just want to put a few points to the Minister,...

Other hon. Members have talked a great deal about the damage that the Budget will do by increasing business taxation, which will ultimately hit pensioners. I will not go over...
