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

I shall make one last point on this. It may not be the same health professional, but we must not forget, when considering all this, the role of the personal adviser, which comes later on in the discussions. They will be the real expert in understanding the employment market rather than the health intervention. We need to be clear about the skills and training of all the different professional involved. They have been very carefully thought through. We have the health professionals, who are carefully trained and audited in the standards they deliver. We have the health professional, who may have an occupational health background, who is responsible for the work-focused health-related assessment. After all that has taken place, we have the personal adviser, who has a key role that I am sure we will talk about later on.
