Proceeding contribution from Roger Berry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
Yes, indeed; I am saying precisely that. I will come in a few moments to the amendments that deal particularly with assessments. I am concerned that parts of the Bill refer only to assessments by health professionals, because when we consider the factors that restrict people’s ability to engage in work-related activity, not only the health professional’s assessment matters. It is the assessment of professionals who understand the workplace that matters.
