Proceeding contribution from Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

The noble Baroness made a poignant case for why children need to be listened to. I hope I can reassure her that HealthWatch England and local healthwatch have a responsibility to hear the voices of everyone, whatever their age. I accept what she says about the legal status of children. However, as she made very obvious, that does not mean to say that we cannot hear their voices and take very seriously their perception of how they can best be treated.
