PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HOME OXYGEN SUPPLIES (27 February 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.
