Proceeding contribution from Lord Rix (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I apologise for interrupting yet again. The point is that if, as I said, the annual health checks are taken for these people it can be reported medically. Certainly the carers can report on this. There is no question that if your son or daughter or your friend is obviously not receiving the amount they should be, it is up to you to get hold of the necessary officials and to inform them. Equally, the annual health checks should certainly—for people with learning disability anyway, although I do not know about other disabilities —take care of any deterioration in condition.
