Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, will the Minister reassure me? I declare an interest as a recently appointed lay member of the General Medical Council. Listening to the argument, I have become very concerned. Will the Minister give me an absolute assurance that no one registered with the General Medical Council will be invited to apply treatment to patients who do not want the treatment? It would be contrary to their registration with the GMC.
