Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am not sure whether we are focusing on semantics here. So far as any treatment issue is concerned, obviously the rehabilitation plan involves only the requirement to attend a particular centre or institution. The other components of the plan would depend upon the individualised or personalised circumstances of the claimant. For example, they may be to do with housing advice, debt counselling and so on, which would not traditionally be recognised as medical services and as coming within the restrictions to which the noble Baroness is referring. I am not sure whether I am covering the point to which she refers.
