the national health service. you cannot read the newspapers without seeing, some mistake in a hospital and the headlines say, "shames the nhs." as if it's the responsibility of the nhs as a whole. the national health service provides, by international standards, very good health care in terms of overall outcomes for healthy life expectancy. do you still believe in "socialised medicine", as the americans call it? i believe passionately in socialised health care, because i have worked and visited so many countries where medicine is commercial and it is terrible, because... it is not if you can pay for it! but it comes back to the fact that medicine is not like going into a shop and buying something. a, the patients are not in a good position to judge what is good for them, and b, a lot of the decision—making is very unclear and very great. and if you look at countries like america, sure, american health care at its best is fantastic, but it is extravagant. all countries in the world, health care costs are rocketing

health services across the country. this cannot be possible if we allow these devastating cuts to the nhs to take place. cuts that will dismantle, damage, and dissolve national health service that we all know and love. everyone has mental health and we should not with us at stake. we should be lobbying nhs trusts and unions to protect services specifically for young people. did -- that one available appointment could be the difference between the difference between life and death threatening situation. it may be a complex issue, but that doesn't mean that change is impossible. change happens when you fight for something you believe in. change happened in 1940 81 nhs was founded. change can happen here today in this chamber. said the nhs will last as long as there are folks left with face to fight in it. i ask you a question. do you have the faith to fight for your nhs? thank you. >> [applause] >> ashley, thank you for a fluent and assured start to our proceedings. to oppose the motion, i call from the east of england, hoping and expecting that you will give this speaker and equally enthusiastic and warm welcome, nicholas gardiner.

it's also a crisis for the national health service. those people in hospitals cannot be discharged because there's nowhere for them to go to. so i will ask her again, the crisis affects individuals, families of the national health service. why doesn't she do something really bold? cancel the corporation tax cut and put the money into social care instead. >> the right honorable gentleman in the next bit is set. i to say newcastle council is the council will be sought in september virtually no delay discharges. out of the people were not being held accountable when they didn't need to be. so what it shows as it is possible for council to deliver on the ground. you see councils like dealing not using the social care preset and different result. the difference between the worst-performing consular relations to that discharges is a 20 fold difference. that's not a bad difference of funding. that's about a difference of delivering. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, councils required to cope with a 40% cut in their budget of the whole country and the

health services across the country. this cannot be possible if we allow the devastating cuts to the nhs to take ways. this will dismantle damage and dissolve national health service services that we all know and love. everyone has mental health and the court should not put this at stake. we should be lopping local nhs and unions to protect services specifically for young people pay to me that one available appointment in your department could potentially be the difference between the life-and-death threatening situation. the nhs is a complex issue but that doesn't mean the change is impossible. change happens when you fight for what you believe in. change happened in 1948 when the nhs was founded and change can happen here today in this chamber. the nhs will last as long as -- and i ask you all a question do you have the faith to fight for your nhs? thank you.

it is also a crisis for the national health service. those people who are in hospital cannot be discharged because there is nowhere for them to go. thell ask her again -- crisis affects individuals, families, and the national health service. why doesn't she do something really bold/ cancel the corporation tax cut and put the money into social care instead. [commotion] p.m. may: the right honorable gentleman has included newcastle in the list. i have to say, newcastle council is one of the councils where we saw virtually no delayed discharges, so elderly people were not being held up in hospital when they did not need to be or want to be. this shows it is possible for councils to deliver on the ground. you see councils like newcastle doing that and you see councils like dealing not using the social care precepts, and a different result. the difference between the worst-performing council in delayed discharges and the best is a 20 difference. that is a difference of delivery, not funding.
