Text
I thank the Member for pointing out that disparity. To my mind, that is an inequity and a potential health inequality. Therefore, as I have said previously, it is something that I will wish to tackle. On my watch, we will always, I believe, have five geographic trusts, rightly or wrongly. Those five trusts should deliver standardised, region-wide services, and the Member has pointed out an area where that is not happening. I would like to see that addressed. Once again, I will take that away from today's sitting.
