Burstow rejoins Commons Health Committee
July 19, 2005 12:00 AM
Sutton & Cheam MP Paul Burstow, today meets with the House of Commons Health Select Committee after his appointment was confirmed last week by the Speaker, Michael Martin MP.
Mr Burstow, who takes a keen interest in matters surrounding the health of people in Britain, was asked to rejoin the influential 11 strong committee that scrutinises health policy implementation by Government Ministers.
Paul was an active member of the Committee from 2003-2004, when the Committee undertook its high profile Obesity Inquiry.
Inquiries carried out by the Health Committee last session included an investigations into the Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry; NHS Continuing Care and The Use of New Medical Technologies in the NHS.
Paul Burstow MP said:-
"I am honoured to be able to rejoin the Health Select Committee. It allows me to hold Ministers to account and critically analyse public health policies that directly affect the residents of Sutton and Cheam.
"The Health Select Committee is a vital check on the government. It undertakes detailed examination of policies and activity that is beyond the scope of the House of Commons as a whole. I hope that my input will ensure that the NHS is protected from the worst of Labours' policies."
