Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Public Health (England).


Public Health (England)

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for giving way, and I am glad that he is not quite as anxious as the hon. Member for Westbury (Dr. Murrison) about my intervening on him. Does not the point that my right hon. Friend is making about health inequalities powerfully reinforce the case for integrating all public services at local level? That is happening in Swindon, in terms of the local area agreement and the integration of the PCT, social services and the borough council. Will not such steps help to tackle the kind of inequalities that my right hon. Friend is talking about?
