Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

Hospitals: Delayed Discharges

Contribution

I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me in at the end. She has mentioned the independent commission of the noble Baroness, Lady Casey of Blackstock. I may be the only Member of your Lordships’ House who is somewhat surprised to know that the noble Baroness is the only commissioner on this independent commission; there are no others. Given that her name is once again being linked with some vacancies arising at the centre of government, could the Government perhaps appoint some more commissioners to make sure that the independent commission is a bit more resilient?
