Norman Lamb, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary

Responding to the news that the Government is considering personal NHS budgets, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Norman Lamb said:

NHS

"The debate over personal care budgets for chronic conditions has gone on for a long time. Personal care budgets have been a success in social care, and could be the same in the NHS when dealing with long-term conditions.

"But the Government must get on with giving patients and their families control, rather than endlessly talking about it."
