Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I intervene briefly to support the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, because I believe that there will be real problems. The immense complexity of the Bill will lead to tremendous delays and a great deal of misunderstanding among people who feel, rightly or wrongly, that they have failed to get the service or treatment to which they are entitled. I hope the Minister can say something about the possibility of some sort of short-circuit response, whereby people who feel that they have been ill treated can, if necessary, have some kind of help and encouragement to make contact with the right people to resolve their problem.
