Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

Briefly, I support my noble friend Lord Empey. Just today, I had a briefing on the impact of the commissioners who will come in under the Health and Social Care Bill. On the Floor of this House, I have already raised the question that the National Health Service is without sufficient skilled technicians to look after the high-tech artificial limbs with which some of our injured are being fitted. That is exactly the sort of thing that we do not want to have postcode lotteries for around the country. We need to put those two matters together in the reflection which I know that the Minister will carry out.
