Proceeding contribution from Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
Yes. The case was made in that powerful speech. It was a good example of how an empowered patient could receive a treatment that not only was based on her needs but saved the PCT a significant amount of taxpayers’ money. I turn to the other question raised by my noble friend Lord Warner in relation to integration between health and social care. The answer is yes. Social care direct payments and the personal health budget should be pooled as far as practicable and legally possible. I hope that the Bill will enhance that rather than create any obstacles to it.
