Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Integrated Care Boards: Access to Services

Contribution

My Lords, there is increasing evidence that access to senior nursing staff in care homes and in the community keeps people out of A&E and therefore reduces many of the problems there. What responsibility will ICBs have to ensure that they purchase district nursing and community mental health training so that we have sufficient district nurses and admiral nurses to support the elderly population?
