Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Karin Smyth and Greg Smith

Tuesday 15th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Karin Smyth]

Our ambitious 10-year plan will involve examining the entire patient pathway to ensure that care is provided in the community, closer to home. Prevention is a key part of that, as is the look that we are taking at social care.
