NHS rescue plan raised in Commons

The 'rescue plan' for Devon's NHS has been debated in the Commons this morning.

 

 

It follows the announcement of a new regime to run the local health economy, to tackle its spiralling deficits.

It'll involve national experts and the regulator Monitor stepping in to find new ways of working, in Devon and two other troubled areas.

Urgent questions have been put to a Government health minister by MPs from the areas concerned.

Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw says NHS reforms are partly responsible for the problems - and wants reassurances that public services won't suffer.
