Bishop of St Albans leads debate on A&E pressures January 16, 2015 by Fulcrum On 15th January 2015, the Bishop of St Albans, the Rt Revd Alan Smith, led a question for short debate in the House of Lords on the pressures facing accident and emergency services. In his opening speech, the Bishop called for the House to disregard the media frenzy and political partisanship of the past week, and instead take a level-headed look at the issue – moving the debate away from scapegoating ‘inappropriate attender’ and seeking rather to find new ways of linking those within the health system with the most appropriate services for their needs.
