The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Lord Hill of Oareford) (Con)
Let us hear briefly from the noble Lord, Lord Cormack, and then we can go to the other side.
Lord Cormack
Will my noble friend assure the House that the leaflet which was recently sent out, and which was far from satisfactory, will be replaced by something that really communicates what people need to know?
Earl Howe
My Lords, I am aware of concerns around the leaflet. Many people have said that they have not received it, which is clearly a concern. NHS England, which is leading on the development of the programme, will consider how to ensure that it engages fully with stakeholders and the public over the coming weeks and months and respond to the concerns that have been raised. The Government will also be engaging with stakeholders to see what we can do from a broader perspective.
