It was said publicly, 18 or so months ago, that areas were addressing this by keeping the lead family health practitioner involved in the case, but that obviously increases the cost. This is unchanged in the programme guide. I beg the Committee’s leave and patience over my going into such detail; the Minister has heard of private conversations, so I am trying to articulate that we have also heard serious concerns expressed in public, which do not seem to be picked up in the guidance.
