Care Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [Lords].

The hon. Gentleman and I often agree on these issues, but I am slightly concerned. Of course we want reassurances, and while we have the pause we should seek further reassurances on the anonymisation of data and that they will not be misused. How far is he prepared to push this point? Is he prepared to push it to the extent that the initiative falls, with all the consequences for the lack of progress in advances in medical care? In 10 years’ time we could be talking about hundreds of thousands of lives that could have been saved as a result of pressing on with this very important development.
