Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Victoria Atkins and Mary Robinson

Tuesday 5th March 2024 Commons Chamber

[Victoria Atkins]

Such schemes are excellent examples of local collaboration between the NHS, local government and other partners—tailored, of course, to the local needs of their areas—and I would be interested to see whether other parts of the NHS choose to take up these sorts of ideas in the future.
