Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

It needs to be made clear that although the Bill has separate clauses—Clause 8 and Clause 9—in reality, as far as the customer is concerned, there will be one assessment. The assessments are separated for the purposes of the Bill, but for the customer and the health professional they will be one discrete assessment. It might help if we talk about the work-focused assessment next.
