Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, I have listened to what has been said and there has been quite a lot of support for the amendment. Indeed, some of the figures are very alarming, including the amount that lack of provision costs the economy. My question concerns how much of what we are talking about in the amendment is available within a reasonable distance of where people with these conditions live. If there is not an adequate supply, which I have a sneaking suspicion may be the case, what are the Government’s plans to ensure a reasonable regional, at the very least, supply of this form of treatment?
