Health Bill [HL]

I am grateful for that assurance, but the mattress cited by the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell, is symbolic of this boundary area. I could see that the war of the noble Baroness’s mattress could go on in some parts of the country where the relationship between health and social services is not very good. I hope that the Minister can give us strong assurances as we go through this. People out there are under no illusions about the importance of not allowing individuals to be caught in the crossfire between two budget managers on different sides of the NHS and local government.
