Proceeding contribution from Lord Stunell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Secretary of State for Health.


Secretary of State for Health

One of my constituents, who is a consultant, drew to my attention last weekend the huge amount of consultant time being spent on trying to get the system back in order. He estimated that 140 hours of consultant time would be spent on the system and on trying to appoint junior doctors. That is a total waste of his effort, and reduces his capacity to give treatment to patients.
