Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 November 2006. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education Debate on the Address.
Health and Education
I cannot let the hon. Gentleman get away with that. Even with the best will in the world, with the best negotiators getting the best prices, there will be always be drugs on which NICE or a national NHS board says no. Then, his constituents and mine will raise a political clamour to get the drug prescribed anyway, because a lot of people want it. Is he saying that, in his vision of the NHS, politicians would have no power to overrule the independent board?
