Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, my name is added to Amendment 50A and I rise only to say that my silence thus far does not mean that I do not approve of the amendment. I strongly support it. There is a saying that if you get six doctors in a room, you will get six opinions, but I do not think that that will be the case today. The key point of the whole debate is that in the management of patients with rare conditions NICE guidelines are followed. If that is done in the commissioning of the care of patients with rare diseases they will get quality care.
