Proceeding contribution from Baroness Afshar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Will specific training be given on how to deal with minorities, among whom any kind of nervous disease or depression is seen as unacceptable and who do not admit to having any such disease? It even takes people familiar with the problem a long time to find out that it is not just a headache but a long-term depression. Will the appropriate training be given?
