Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Rendell of Babergh (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 24 July 2007.
Health: InterAct Reading Service
- Question
- My Lords, I thank my noble friend for that Answer. Does she agree that the service could be extended into people's homes? A friend of mine has suffered a stroke and she has her children to read to her, but that cannot be so for everyone. Does my noble friend also agree that this service could be extended to patients recovering from eye surgery and allied problems?
- Answer
-
My Lords, my noble friend is clearly right that this service could be extended into people's homes and to people who suffer from other conditions. However, I understand that the InterAct Reading Service is a charity. Therefore, it is up to the charity itself to decide the scope of its service.
