Proceeding contribution from Joan Humble (Labour) 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

I am pleased to take part in a debate on a complex Bill that contains many welcome aspects but also raises many questions. I shall ask my hon. Friend the Minister a few questions and I am sure that even more will be asked as the Bill progresses. I want to speak primarily about the care quality commission but start by welcoming some other elements of the Bill. I am sure that the overwhelming majority of pregnant women will welcome £190—the health in pregnancy grant—whether it is to help them with their diet or, as the explanatory notes state, other aspects of late pregnancy, which could do with some extra money.
