Proceeding contribution from Andrew Selous (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 March 2012. It occurred during Opposition day and e-petition debate on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Like all Government Members, I am absolutely committed to the principles of the NHS: that it should be free at the point of need, irrespective of the ability to pay, and available to all those who need it. The NHS saved my life when I was 24-years-old. It was there for me and I always intend to be there for it, for my constituents and others who need it. I say to Opposition Members that on Saturday morning I spent two and a half hours in Dunstable market talking to more than 400 of my constituents on a wide range of issues, and not a single person raised concerns about the national health service.
