Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, I would like to ask a question because of what the noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, said. Are there not very strong safeguards in this amendment to protect the National Health Service? I travelled back from Mauritius once with a young child whose face was covered with a terrible cancer. Would it not benefit that sort of patient to be given treatment in our hospitals, because their countries do not have the facilities? We must be a humane country.
