“New Clause 25”

“Parents of critically ill children: communication and involvement in decision-making”

“(a) make provision requiring ICBs to provide parents, on admission of their child to hospital, with a written explanation of their rights while the child is in hospital, including on how parental responsibility is shared with the hospital trust;”

“Our new clause 16 would place such a duty on ICBs, as well as requiring carers to be included with joint forward plans.

“I pay tribute to the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. It does good work in trying to eradicate rabies in countries with street dogs, as part of hearts-and-minds engagement. We can work public health into pretty much any Department.”

“New clause 14 is about healthy life expectancy. It would require the Secretary of State to make regulations to establish a statutory target for healthy life expectancy in Great Britain and publish a strategy every two years, setting out how the target would be achieved. New clause 79 would establish a public health com…”

“It is well recognised that people who inflict deliberate pain, injury or violence on animals are more likely to be involved in domestic abuse, yet if someone is prosecuted for deliberately injuring an animal, they are prosecuted under animal welfare laws, meaning that their conviction is unlikely to show up under the d…”

“Identification of carers in the NHS is a gateway to many of the services and support offered, including advice on financial support, referral to local authority support and inclusion in hospital discharge planning. Identification of more unpaid carers would also give local areas more accurate data, which would enable t…”
