Leith Hospital And The Private Sector

EDM number 1273 in 1990-91, proposed by Ron Brown on 17/10/1991.

That this House is concerned at the further delay in building the promised new hospital for Leith; condemns Lothian Health Board's decision to seek a partner in this venture, rumoured to be Reo Stakis, notorious for cheap labour and high prices; and calls on the Scottish Health Minister to end back-door privatisation by providing additional public funds so that the board can live up to its motto - `putting patients first' - and to resource the Leith Project as planned.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
