Proceeding contribution from John Robertson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Is my hon. Friend saying that in changing the words from ““health assessment”” to just ““assessment””, he means that there has to be an ability for more than one person’s assessment of the client or customer to be taken into consideration? Does he mean that a physiotherapist or perhaps a social worker who understands the client’s problems should be involved? Is he saying that someone needs to look at the bigger picture rather than take account only of ordinary health matters?
