Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I also support my noble friend Lord Sandwich on this terribly important topic. It links back to standards of primary care, which we have spoken about earlier this evening. I know that it is very late, but I hope that the Minister might take this away and consider it in terms of the standards of monitoring of primary and secondary care—as has been said, this is an iatrogenic disease for many people—and the importance that the third sector can play and fill a major gap that is not filled by any services that are formally commissioned. Without the third sector, these people will end up becoming ever-more needing of NHS services, but sadly they often get services that are not appropriate to their needs.
