Proceeding contribution from Helen Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care (Re-committed) Bill.


[2nd Allocated Day]

Will the Minister explain to the House why, rather than providing a duty to act to reduce health inequalities, the Bill only requires bodies to have regard to health inequalities? It is quite possible to have regard to them and to do nothing to reduce them.
