Proceeding contribution from Stephen O'Brien (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Older People's Rights (Health Care).


Older People's Rights (Health Care)

The hon. Gentleman may be aware that we have made a recommendation, and we hope the Government will see fit to copy it. NICE's remit should be widened through legislation to include cost and clinical effectiveness and to bear in mind societal effects. That encompasses a reference to human rights, particularly in relation to carers and the cared for, and that is the provenance of our policy making.
