12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 8th Jun 2005

Commenting on the report published by the Healthcare Commission on cardiac rehabilitation, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Steve Webb MP said:

"There is a danger that in getting carried away by headline catching, high -tech treatment, the less glamorous but just as important aspects of healthcare are neglected.

"These services do not cost the earth but will prevent hospitals having to spend more in the future on unnecessary and expensive care. Most importantly, these services save lives.

"Patients deserve to know they will get the right care not only in an emergency but also in the long term."
