Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

Does the noble Baroness agree that another issue that needs to be looked at when considering how far what is intended by policy makers is pursued on the front line is the perception that all GPs are the same? They read the tabloid press and are influenced by it so that they then approach their patients in the context of a tabloid press perception. We have to get it across that the medical profession has a duty to follow through the procedures that Ministers and others lay down. It is not just that the profession has a discretion to do it; it is its job to do it.
