NHS Hospitals: Apheresis

Debate between Baroness Merron and Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne

Wednesday 9th October 2024 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne (Con)]

Given the welcome switch of the National Health Service from being just restorative to preventive, might the Minister consider discussing the World Health Organization system of women health volunteers and visitors? Then, these discussions can start at a much lower level and people will be much less fearful of the treatment they may eventually have to have in hospital.

[Baroness Merron (Lab)]

Certainly, we want to look at all the ways we can support patients to get the services they need, and that includes providing reassurance and the information they need. I will look at the Baroness’s suggestion.
