SINGLE HANDER GENERAL PRACTITIONERS

Motion Text

That this House calls on the Prime Minister to withdraw his comments made at Prime Minister's Questions on 3rd July 2002, when he stated that 'There has been a move over time away from single-handed practices so as to improve the quality of care that people receive', implying that single-hander general practitioners are somehow substandard, which have offended a great many single-hander general practitioners, the vast majority of whom offer an exemplary service to their patients.
