Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The noble and learned Baroness is the lawyer and I am not. She may well be right and there may be value in reflecting on the position of hospices, although I suspect that hospices are not the major problem in this area. I think that the primary concern of the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, was the position of GPs’ surgeries. However, I recognise that visiting care staff in the NHS may be vulnerable—we all hear nasty stories, so we well appreciate that—and we probably have to rely on the ordinary criminal law in most of those individual cases. This has been a valuable debate touching on some very difficult issues.
