Dr Peter Brand (Isle of Wight, Liberal Democrat)
I am sure that the hon. Gentleman would not be surprised to learn that medical practitioners are often promised future benefits in wills that never arrive. I have problems with the hon. Gentleman's concept because to publish the fact of expectations will put unreasonable pressure on patients, who will feel that they are obliged to fulfil their perhaps rash idea, which they may have had at some soft moment.
