Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I thank the Minister for his reply. I confess that I am not very reassured, because I fear that by the time people realise that the system is not working, mental health trusts up and down the country will be on their knees. Therefore, I ask the Minister to assure us that a piece of work will be undertaken to examine the relation between the assessments and whether they will effectively pick up on fluctuating disorders. It is alarming to think that the system might roll into effect without fully taking this into consideration.
