Proceeding contribution from Lord Blunkett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Dementia Services.
Dementia Services
I was very pleased to be in Leigh on Saturday, but I was not able to examine the services there, because I was at my right hon. Friend's 40th birthday party. Will he join me in thanking the Alzheimer's Society's chief executive, Neil Hunt, who is stepping down, for his work on raising the profile of Alzheimer's and for his contribution to the strategy? Will my right hon. Friend also confirm that the Opposition's criticisms of the actions of PCTs would be greatly exacerbated if the Secretary of State had no powers in that area, and if the Department of Health gave away its powers to a national health service board, remaining in charge only of public health?
