I wholeheartedly support what my hon. Friend says. We are examining the detail of the White Paper ““Our health, our care, our say””, especially the part of it about which I have asked her previously, about moving ““Care closer to home””. She confirmed from the Dispatch Box in a previous debate that maternity services would be judged according to community criteria. May I push her a little further and ask whether that is true of mental health and learning disability services, which are also set in a community context? The partnership trust believes that they should not be judged by the same criteria, which I find strange, given that the people to whom they apply are most in need of being close to their locality and community. Will my hon. Friend say a little about that?
