Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Well, well, well! So Health Secretary Alan Johnson has outlined plans which aim to make the NHS more user-friendly for patients in his speech to the Labour conference. He said patients should be treated close to home and GP surgeries should open "at times and in locations that suit the patient, not the practice".

I will be quoting this incessantly at Haringey PCT if they try and move our GP practises into the polyclinics! That's the point I keep making. We need to be treated close to home.

As for this shenanigans with Brown and the election - a real man, a real Prime Minister - would put the country first! I rest my case!
