Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bridgeman (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I declare an interest as a former chairman of an independent hospice that is wholly contracted to a number of primary care trusts. I echo the remarks of the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, about hospices, which need to provide particularly sensitive care. Taking up the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, a heavy security presence would be quite inappropriate in institutions of this kind. Therefore, I very much echo the noble Baroness’s wish for special consideration to be given to hospices.
