Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill.


Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

The Minister has not looked at what the deprivation index covers. The real problem is that the national health service should perhaps be an ill health prevention system, but it is not. It is a treatment system, and as long as that is what it is, the treatment needs to be provided where it is most needed, which is where there are most old people. Deprivation has several other elements that have nothing to do with health.
