Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Walton, will be aware of many occasions in this house—when the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, was Minister and some of us were in opposition—when we listened to Lord Weatherill speaking on behalf of Christian Scientists, who often wish to refuse treatment. I understand that this amendment originated from the Christian Scientists, who merely wish to draw again to the attention of the medical authorities the fact that they have a belief system that deserves the same amount of dignity and respect as any other. Perhaps he might view the amendment in that light.
