Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Why cannot a lay person inspect every care home? Why cannot we make it mandatory? Why cannot we have pools of people who are available to carry out inspections in local authority areas and who are drawn from the local community? Enough people out there have an interest in doing so. I cannot see why there should be any discretion. Surely we could create arrangements whereby it was mandatory.
