“…I said in my maiden speech not even a year ago, my very first patient as a GP was a young woman who suffered a stillbirth. More than 40 years later, I look after her children and now her grandchildren. That is continuity of care. Nothing in the Bill would stop that relationship, but nothing in it will protect it either.”

“…Select Committee of this House argued and as the noble Lord, Lord Foster, said so eloquently, as a public health issue, not simply as a matter of consumer choice.
