Proceeding contribution from Earl of Sandwich (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, as the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, implied, we are moving to the fast-track of this Bill, and I do not want to hang around for too long. I thank my noble friend Lady Masham for bringing to our attention the issue of early death, and my noble friend Lord Williamson, who has a lot of experience, for his support. My noble friend Lady Finlay made the important point that the responsibility falls within primary care, and I am encouraged by what she said about guidance. However, the Minister did not even pick that up. One might have thought that he could have just said, ““Yes, we are going to do something in the guidance””, but I do not know whether he actually heard the point.
