Health: Spending Cuts

Lord Campbell-Savours Excerpts

Wednesday 30th June 2010 Lords Chamber

[Earl Howe]

My Lords, as so often, my noble friend is right. Local authorities will have a major role to play in the prevention agenda, as will third sector organisations. I can tell her that we are having extensive discussions at the moment with many such organisations.

[Lord Campbell-Savours]

My Lords—

[Lord Ashley of Stoke]

I wonder if the Minister will also say that I am often right, like the previous speaker. He always says that the Government intend to improve the health service, but he says in the same breath that they intend to go ahead with cuts. How can this illogical stance be repeated time and again?
