Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

First, I say to the noble Baroness, Lady Tonge, that this subject was discussed at Second Reading and an amendment was discussed in Committee. The amendment would stop a disabled person being in limbo while a new local authority assessed them yet again. This can take months, if not years. Would the Minister tell us how much it costs to do an assessment, or do they differ between local authorities? This amendment might, in the long term, save rather than cost money.
