Speeches by Kinnock.

“ICBs have to be an umbrella organisation that looks at primary care, community care, secondary care and acute care holistically and on a level playing field, not where you just continue with the “business as usual” approach of favouring secondary and acute. If that continues, the 10-year plan will fail.”

“Unpaid carers have a voice in the MSF. The name of the organisation escapes me now, but one of the main voices for unpaid carers is one of the voices in the MSF stakeholder engagement process. We are also very proud of the fact that we provided the uplift to carer’s allowance, which was the largest uplift since the sch…”

“There will be an interim report on it in the spring, and finalisation in the autumn.”

“The trend from the dashboard shows that the closer you are to the community, the less likely it is that you would have to go into emergency admissions.”

“I do not think it is necessarily about the quantum. If you look right across Government, we spend about £22 billion on people in the last year of their life. About £5 billion of that is on social security, about £5 billion is on adult social care, and the remaining £12 billion or so is in the healthcare side of palliat…”

“Yes.”

“I think it varies from area to area. We do see some examples of ICBs winning the argument with the trust, and the trust accepting—”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Vickers. I start by thanking my hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Danny Beales) and congratulating him on securing this important debate. Having now been in the same room as a specialist in ear, nose and throat, a former GP and a vet, I am not sure…”

“The right hon. Gentleman is busted now.”

“I can—we are absolutely committed to responding to the Kingdon review next year. We are working on pulling together our response to the report. It is extremely important, and there are serious lessons to be learned from it. We think Dr Kingdon has done an excellent piece of work, and we are very keen to build on it and…”

“It is a real pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Huq, and I really thank my hon. Friend the Member for Chesterfield (Mr Perkins) for raising this important issue. This year, I have seen at first hand—at the Wigan and Leigh hospice, the Noah’s Ark Children’s hospice in Barnet, and Katherine House hospice in Staff…”

“We have a plan for next steps and I look forward to discussing those with him further. Motion lapsed (Standing Order No. 10(6)).”

“Oh, okay. Does my hon. Friend wish to intervene?”

“I beg to move, That this House agrees with Lords amendments 19B and 19C. It is a privilege to return to the Mental Health Bill in this House for what I hope will be the final time in its passage. Thanks to the constructive and collaborative approach from Members across this House and noble Lords in the other place, we …”

“Yes, we absolutely do agree. As the hon. Gentleman will hear as I proceed with my speech, we have three options in respect of what will happen in exactly the scenario that he has mentioned, and that has been very much the spirit of the amendment on which we have agreed with the other place. We will put patient feedback…”

“Yes, I was just coming on to that, because the hon. Gentleman raised it in his speech. We are protecting the mental health investment standard in real terms, as it will rise in line with inflation. Our position is quite straightforward. We feel that for far too long the NHS has been run by a series of input-based targe…”

“With the leave of the House, I will make some brief concluding remarks. I am very grateful to Members of this House for their contributions both today and throughout the passage of this Bill. I believe that by drawing on the lived experience of both Members and our constituents, we will be able to strengthen the intend…”

“The hon. Gentleman is right: it is the Government’s responsibility to give a steer to the Office for Students, and we are very close to being able to put that together. I am expecting some advice from my officials later in the week, and I shall be happy to keep the hon. Gentleman updated on further progress.”

“I, too, am absolutely delighted that more patients can see a dentist in Norfolk but, as my hon. Friend says, there is a long way to go. We are certainly not complacent, but we are showing that it is possible to turn things around. I am also pleased that the University of East Anglia has been approved as a dental school…”

“I am delighted to have announced in a written ministerial statement yesterday that the Government are developing a palliative care and end-of-life care modern service framework for England. The modern service framework will be aligned with the 10-year health plan, prioritising shifting care out of hospitals and into th…”
