Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Next Stage Review.


NHS Next Stage Review

My hon. Friend raises an important point. Alongside the Darzi review is a comprehensive review of carers that was announced recently by the Prime Minister. We are looking to see what extra help we can give to carers, having already done a lot in respect of pensions and the right to request flexible working, but we need to take a series of other measures, because carers save the Government a lot of money, which can be spent elsewhere in the health service. We are probably the first Government to recognise their importance, and we will ensure that the review is completed speedily.
