Multiple Sclerosis

Debate between Lord Reid of Cardowan and Lord Willis of Knaresborough

Thursday 13th October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Willis of Knaresborough]

My Lords—

[Lord Reid of Cardowan]

The Minister will be aware that the move from the large-scale commissioning of health services to smaller-scale commissioning carries a danger for those who will be deemed on the smaller scale not to have sufficient critical mass numbers to command attention. What do the Government intend to do to ensure that conditions such as MS and other chronic conditions are not endangered by that move to small-scale commissioning?
