Proceeding contribution from Lord Carlile of Berriew (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 23 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Palliative Care Bill [HL].
Palliative Care Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving us a trailer of an argument that we will have on Monday, which is very helpful for planning for that debate. But what is the problem about objective tests such as those set out in the noble Baroness’s Bill? The Minister seems to be equating the objective test of what is reasonable with an entirely different subjective test of what a patient might wish for. We are asking in this Bill, and indeed in the Mental Health Bill, for nothing more than what is reasonable.
