Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Rea (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
I have found the quote from the evidence of Royal College of Psychiatrists: ""The College faculty of Addictions has expressed considerable disquiet at the conditionality provisions while welcoming the attempt to assist drug users with their addiction. The issues affecting people with people with addictions will not improve treatment compliance or the chances that people will obtain and remain in work. On the contrary,"—" as I explained earlier— ""they may drive people deeper into poverty and marginalisation. Being coercive in nature the provisions have the potential to undermine the therapeutic relationship between clinician and client"."
