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]

I will bring this discussion back. We are running pilots across the country, and it is for the PCTs to submit innovative ideas that are locally worked through with all the stakeholders at a local level: patient groups, advocacy groups, the voluntary sector and others. They will bring us the best pilots to look at, and different PCTs may have different pilot schemes. We will evaluate these and identify the evidence base. We hope that, if the right conditions are identified, we will roll out such a scheme nationally, but we will bring that to Parliament before we do so.
