Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall (Lab)
My Lords, in reply to the noble Baroness, Lady Uddin, the noble and learned Lord referred to the rights of victims to access certain kinds of support. If I may respectfully say so, he did not say how that access will be delivered. I think the noble Baroness was asking about capacity in the system and the training and adequacy of the people delivering the help. Can he assure us that there is capacity and that it is of a sufficiently high standard?
Lord Keen of Elie
Certainly, I have no reason to doubt that the specialist support services to which I referred are fully available for those who require them.
