Charges For Hospital Services In Harrow

EDM number 31 in 1994-95, proposed by Alan Milburn on 16/11/1994.

That this House condemns the Northwick Park Hospital Trust in Harrow for its decision to introduce premium rate telephone charges for families wishing to ring their hospitalised relatives and patients wishing to watch television; believes that the hospital's contract with the Patientline Company amounts to a tax on the sick; and calls on the Secretary of State for Health to end this privatisation of patient services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 57 MPs.
