Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.


Health and Education

Will the Secretary of State forgive me if I do not make a party political point and refer to the future, rather than the past? I am very proud of the fact that we are doing a lot of work with the National Audit Office in trying to raise up the agenda the Department of Health's work on dementia, stroke and end-of-life care. I wonder whether he will say a word about his priorities now that he will address that problem. He has mentioned, of course, his efforts on cancer and heart disease, but dementia, stroke and end-of-life care are very important as well.
