Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Crisp (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 13 October 2011.
International Year for People of African Descent
- Question
- My Lords, as your Lordships will know, the NHS benefitted enormously from a great number of people of African heritage, particularly in the early days. Would it not be a good idea to use this occasion to celebrate this in some way and partly thereby contribute to improving the morale in the NHS?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the noble Lord is absolutely right about the contribution and the value. He urges celebration, which should be in all our words, aims and activities, but whether a specific day is necessary as well I am not so sure. However, I make absolutely clear that we recognise everything that he said as being extremely valid.
