Speeches by Johnson.

“If they are, they can use the advice and guidance service. The point is that when a general practitioner wants to refer his or her patient to a consultant on the basis of their clinical need, they should be able to. That is the purpose of the new clause.”

“This new clause would put a duty on the Secretary of State to double the number of medical school training places.”

“(b) hold a primary medical qualification from an international branch campus of a higher education institution in the United Kingdom.’” —(Dr Johnson.)”

“I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time. In their final months in office, the last Labour Government introduced the Equality Act 2010. That consolidated several pieces of anti-discrimination legislation, which was welcome, but it also introduced a new public sector equality duty, requiring public authoriti…”

“Does it concern my hon. Friend that the person who raised the concerns about the trial then recused himself from further involvement in it?”

“Brought up, and read the First time.”

“The Minister will remember the evidence given earlier in Committee by my right hon. Friend the Member for Godalming and Ash, in our first sitting. As our longest-serving Health Secretary, my right hon. Friend focused much of his tenure on patient safety, and yet, as he made clear: “We are the world champion at doing in…”

“I wish to press new clause 83 to a vote. Question put, That the clause be read a Second time.”

““(1) It is an offence for medical practitioners to undertake strike action.”

“The Minister says that if doctors want to go on strike, that is a failure of the system. The consultants have just balloted to go on strike. What failure in the system does she think has caused that?”

“I understand the Minister’s interest in the balance between trade unions and patient safety. My personal view is that we should focus on patient safety. I am aware—anecdotally, to be fair—of examples of individual clinicians who were asked during previous strikes to come off the picket line to help and did not. I am al…”

“I am very happy to take an intervention.”

“I will take an intervention.”

“New clauses 81 and 82 stand in my name. As a doctor, I felt deeply uncomfortable with the morality of going on strike, with doctors leaving their patients to suffer in order to get more money for themselves. That is one of the reasons why the previous Government introduced minimum service legislation to ban strikes in …”

“I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.”

“I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time. The new clause is a probing amendment. The aim is to press the Government to explain why the Bill does not include provisions to implement statutory regulation of NHS management, as they had said they would, and to commit to a timetable for bringing the regulations …”

“This new clause would require the Secretary of State to publish and maintain a national framework for improving access to radiotherapy services in England.”
