Home Oxygen Supplies
EDM number 1686 in 2005-06, proposed by Linda Riordan on 27/02/2006.
That this House expresses serious concern at the decision to transfer the delivery of oxygen away from local pharmacies to private companies; regrets that this means the provision will not be made by these pharmacies, who were community-based and aware of patients' needs; is concerned that the 60,000 people across the country who rely on oxygen will now have to wait longer to receive their supplies; and calls on the Government to think again about this decision, as well as resisting any future plans to move away from localised provision of key health services such as these.
This motion has been signed by a total of 92 MPs.
