Prostate Cancer Screening
I completely understand Cancer Research UK’s point about overdiagnosis leading to invasive treatment, with devastating effects, along with unnecessary anxiety and stress. There are inequalities in treatment, and more needs to be done to ensure that every

Domestic Violence Against Children
My Lords, there is always, quite rightly, multi-agency involvement in these distressing cases, but there can be a problem when victims fall through the cracks and the joined-up approach fails. How can we be assured that this is being improved? This is di

Violence Against Women and Girls
I want to press my friend the Minister a little further on police training. I know that it is much better than it was, but it is still a postcode lottery and I do not think the police always understand the different kinds of abuse, particularly honour ab

I thank your Lordships for taking part in this debate. It shows this Chamber at its best when we come together like this. As the noble Baroness, Lady Newlove, said, there are marvellous organisations out there helping victims—but, as she also said, there

Children’s Cancer Services
My Lords, we have heard a lot in this House about joined-up thinking, but this is not joined-up thinking. Instead, we are thinking of fragmenting a service which works very well. Co-location is important, in order to enable experts to talk, research and
