Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
In his statement, the Secretary of State said that he wanted to give disabled people the right to know how much the state was spending on them, and to request that the money be given to them as a budget that they could control. I welcome that move towards individual budgets, but will the Secretary of State tell us whether they will contain not just the sums that his Department spends, but the money spent by local authorities on adult services and, more radically, by the national health service?
