Text

I thank the Minister for his understandable response. I look forward to seeing his plans being progressed. I noted the BMA's concern about the risk of patients facing harm or serious issues being missed. Does he agree that there can be few systems worse than the current system, whereby we have an 8.00 am lottery, with patients having to ring 700 or 800 times?
