Treatment Of Domestic Pets At Bath Royal United Hospital

EDM number 541 in 1991-92, proposed by Dawn Primarolo on 22/01/1992.

That this House is appalled at the announcement that domestic pets are to be treated in the Bath Royal United Hospital radiotherapy unit; notes with alarm the recent Press reports that the treatment of cancer patients in Britain is comparable with Third World treatment standards; demands to know why patients awaiting cancer treatment elsewhere in the country are not being referred to Bath; calls for an urgent investigation into the mechanism of the internal market and extra contractual referrals; and instructs the Secretary of State for Health immediately to investigate the current situation at the Bath Royal United Hospital and make an urgent statement to Parliament.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
