Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2025

Debate

Young Disabled People: Social Care Services

Contribution

My Lords, we know it is true not only for this care service but for many health and care services that there is often concern when, upon reaching adulthood, the patient has to move from paediatric care to adult services—we have had a number of debates on that in this House. Often, that can involve a change of medical staff, from a clinician or caseworker who knows the patient to someone who is a stranger, as it were. Can the Minister tell noble Lords what guidance there is for the clinician or the health worker looking after the child, as well as for the clinician who will be looking after the child when they are an adult, whereby they talk to each other to ensure as smooth a transition as possible?
