Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform Green Paper.
Welfare Reform Green Paper
I welcome the Secretary of State’s statement, but does he accept that on occasions there will be a genuine disagreement between his Department’s medical assessment of an individual’s ability to return to work and that individual’s assessment with his or her GP? Does he have any plans to review the appeals system, which many people find slow, complex and bureaucratic, with a view to enhancing its efficiency and credibility?
