"The comments made by my noble friend Lady Gerada explaining the team-based approach seem very sensible in terms of providing that continuity of care.

"My Lords, I will speak to Amendments 22, 24, 30C, 308, 347 and 458. I tabled these amendments after looking at data from other jurisdictions and listening to debates in another place.

"I would not be able to accept the amendment as tabled because I have numerous other amendments on disability, language, BSL, different levels of interpretation and Makaton that are all important when having these conversations. Following the offer that the noble and learned Lord made to the noble Lord, Lord …..." Baroness Grey-Thompson - View Speech
"My Lords, my Amendments 13 and 309 are probing amendments. I recognise that the 60 months and the 12 months in my two amendments do not quite tally, but they were tabled at quite different times.
"This partly follows on from the comments of the noble Baroness, Lady Fox. The noble and learned Lord mentioned in his previous answer to one of my amendments that the doctors would be able to investigate.
