Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Griffiths and Norman Lamb

Tuesday 24th February 2015 Commons Chamber

[Norman Lamb]

I am very much aware of the work that my right hon. Friend and my hon. Friend the Member for Colchester (Sir Bob Russell) have done on this.

I was struck by the extent to which people said how much they had reduced their hospital in-patient admissions as a result of the incredibly impressive preventive work that this service provides, and I want to look into it further.
