Comments By The Chief Executive Officer Of The New Forest And The Eastleigh And Test Valley South Primary Care Trusts

EDM number 725 in 2005-06, proposed by Julian Lewis on 11/10/2005.

That this House deplores the question `Where's the bin', asked by the Chief Executive of the New Forest and the Eastleigh and Test Valley South Primary Care Trusts, after receiving a petition containing the names of 40,980 people who wish in-patient beds to remain in the Fenwick, Fordingbridge, Hythe, Milford-on-Sea and Romsey Community Hospitals; and fears that this is further evidence of the PCT's determination to press on with an uncosted and ill-conceived scheme for treatment at home regardless of overwhelming opposition to their proposals by the residents of the Romsey, New Forest East and New Forest West constituencies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
