Volume 461: debated on Tuesday 19 June 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment her Department made of the needs of people with lymphoma in the preparation of the “Our Health, Our Care, Our Say” White Paper. (143741)

There was no specific assessment of the needs of people with lymphoma as part of the “Our Health, Our Care, Our Say” White Paper. The White Paper's broad focus meant it did not deal with specific illnesses, but focussed instead on principles that would improve care for all patients such as greater integration between health and social care, more treatment in the community and better preventative and early intervention services.
