Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Dan Poulter and Meg Munn

Tuesday 16th July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Dr Poulter]

I would be very happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss that case and the commissioning arrangements for the procedure, and indeed other treatment for patients with cerebral palsy.

[Meg Munn (Sheffield, Heeley) (Lab/Co-op)]

T7. The guidance that the Government have produced on transferring funds from the NHS to local authority social care makes it clear that the money can be used to plug gaps in social care caused by cuts. Does that not just mean that the local authorities that are under most pressure because they have had the biggest cuts will not be in a position to develop the integrated health and care services that we would all like to see?
