Primary Care: Inequality

Baroness Jolly Excerpts

Monday 19th June 2023 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jolly (LD)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Uddin (Non-Afl)]

My Lords, I do think it is this side—

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

My Lords, it is the turn of the Liberal Democrat Benches. I think the noble Baroness, Lady Uddin, is non-affiliated; she can go afterwards.

[Baroness Jolly (LD)]

Can the Minister clarify the difference in training for a community health worker and a community nurse? I declare an interest as I chair the NHS committee for community nursing.

[Lord Evans of Rainow (Con)]

I cannot say what the exact difference is, but I can say that they are very similar and overlap. I will write to the noble Baroness on the differences.
