Proceeding contribution from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

On the issue of joint commissioning, does the Secretary of State recognise that, as is so often the case, there is perhaps inadvertent confusion about whether the local authority or the primary care trust pays for a particular package of care? Within that confusion, it is often the patient—the consumer or end user; the person who needs services—who is subject to extra stress and burden, because they are being written to day after day by someone saying, ““It is not our partnership; it is not our problem.”” Such people are falling between two stools. Will the Secretary of State give a commitment to the House that the Bill will address those key issues?
