Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollins (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, may I briefly speak in support of the amendment? I suggest that the duty to provide services to those suffering from addiction and withdrawal should also be a duty to ensure prevention of inappropriate prescription, which I think was implicit in what the noble Earl was saying. There are some very good NICE guidelines available. That refers back to an amendment of my noble friend Lady Finlay. It is important that commissioning groups require clinicians to take note of NICE guidelines, which might assist in preventing this kind of problem developing in the future.
