MPs debate stroke services (North Yorkshire)
MPs today debated the issue of stroke services in North Yorkshire, with a local MP raising his concerns that stroke services were under threat because of the county council's decision not to guarantee funding.
Local councils have taken over the role of backbenchers, and this may be one of the reasons why so many MPs, over the years, have felt the need to look for different ways of voicing their opinion, among them by going public with their reservations on policies to be adopted by their own party, Josie Muscat told The Malta Independent on Sunday.
