Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I have put my name to Amendment 209. Many GPs do not know about many less common conditions. Many surgeons do not know either. To give myself as an example, on several occasions when I have had a disaster I have had to explain that I do not feel from my lesion down, with all the dangers that that involves. Most of them cannot take it in. Amendment 209, to give guidance, might prevent mistakes. The expert patient has become useful with many conditions in helping in these matters.
