Lord Ribeiro: ...the Uighurs. It urged Her Majesty’s Government to exert pressure on the Chinese Government to stop these inhumane practices and to allow the UN investigators into Xinjiang region. The Minister may wish to comment on the Government’s response. I will leave your Lordships with a quote from Dr Zoe Greaves, chairman of the BMA ethics committee.

Professional Qualifications Bill [HL] - Second Reading (25 May 2021)

Lord Ribeiro: ...of all parts of the UK should not be used as a means to achieve uniformity in the regulation of professional bodies. Medicine requires strict regulations and standards, because patients’ lives may be at risk without them. Any dilution in standards, in a mistaken attempt to achieve uniformity, may have unintended consequences. For this reason, the GMC—as the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (2nd Day) (12 May 2021)

Lord Ribeiro: ...the Times today that recruitment numbers in nursing and midwifery and for health visitors are expected to rise, the Royal College of Psychiatrists has warned that the future of addiction psychiatry may be put at risk through the shortage of trainees in that specialty—a point made by the noble Lord, Lord Owen. The Government must ensure that the Bill provides a mechanism for alcohol...

Domestic Abuse Bill - Report (2nd Day): Amendment 23 (10 Mar 2021)

Lord Ribeiro: ...of domestic abuse, as the noble Baroness, Lady Benjamin, noted in the debate on the first group of amendments. Witnessing domestic violence and alcohol abuse are major events in childhood and may lead to an anti-social lifestyle of offending, truancy and violent behaviour in the years ahead. As a surgeon, I treated many patients with injuries sustained following domestic disputes, nearly...

Covid-19 Update - Statement (21 Sep 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: ...should direct our attention to pubs and restaurants and whether they should remain open as potential vectors of infection. We have learned many lessons from the first wave, particularly that there may have been a reluctance on the part of hospitals to refer patients to the Nightingale hospitals, lest this be seen as a sign of failure. This is a war on a pernicious virus, and we need...

Covid-19: Response - Statement (27 Jul 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: My Lords, the London Nightingale hospital was mothballed in mid-May and remains at standby for a second wave of Covid-19, having treated just 54 patients since it opened on 3 April. In a recent report of 19 July, Harrogate Borough Council questioned how the 500-bed field hospital based in Harrogate Convention Centre would be deployed. Given that £3 billion has been allocated to maintain...

Business and Planning Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 18 (13 Jul 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: ..., the Government have expressed a desire to make England smoke-free by 2030. Let us start now, by prohibiting smoking on pavements outside restaurants and pubs, and in doing so protect those who may contract coronavirus in the coming year and thus be at risk of serious lung complications. I strongly support this amendment and hope that it will be accepted, albeit as part of a temporary measure.

Black Lives Matter: Protests - Private Notice Question (15 Jun 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: ...worked as a young surgeon in Ghana in the 1970s, I was struck by a bust of Queen Victoria on a pedestal in Victoria Park in Cape Coast—the very place where slaves left to go to America. Ghanaians may have many reasons for wanting to remove the bust of Queen Victoria—a queen who represented Britain at the height of its imperial power. That statue remains because it is part of Ghana’s...

Care Homes: Covid-19 Testing - Private Notice Question (14 May 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: My Lords, given the press briefing by Dr Jenny Harries on Wednesday 13 May, when can we expect testing of all residents and staff in care homes? Covid-19 infects older people in care homes at different times. Therefore, a test is valid only on a specific day. Do the Government understand that one test per resident is not enough? Repeat tests are often required. Can my noble friend the...

Access to Palliative Care and Treatment of Children Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 7 Feb 2020)

Lord Ribeiro: ...about Clause 2(4), believing that any medical treatment proposals put forward by any person holding parental responsibility for a child are in the child’s best interests. It believes that this may expose children with life-limiting illnesses to unproven or sub-optimal treatments. It is important to be clear where the balance of responsibility for treatment lies—with the doctors...

Health Service Safety Investigations Bill [HL] - Second Reading (29 Oct 2019)

Lord Ribeiro: ...Council. As more surgical care practitioners enter the profession directly, rather than through roles such as nursing, it is appropriate for regulatory oversight to be introduced. Failure to do so may pose an increased risk to patient safety. The safe space proposals have been modelled on approaches used for many years by the air accident and transport safety investigation bodies, which...

NHS Long-term Plan - Statement ( 1 Jul 2019)

Lord Ribeiro: ...the profession, for whatever reason. There is also good evidence that those who come in at graduate entry last the distance a lot better than those who perhaps come in much younger. Your Lordships may ask, “Where is the evidence for that?” What efforts are being made to look into why people are giving up medicine early, and what is the possibility of increasing the number of graduate...

Brexit: Import of Radioisotopes - Private Notice Question ( 7 Mar 2019)

Lord Ribeiro: ...between what we currently receive and what we are able to provide. Can the Minister say anything about when we can expect these new systems to come on stream? It is a challenging question, so she may wish to write to me on that.

Healthcare (International Arrangements) Bill - Second Reading ( 5 Feb 2019)

Lord Ribeiro: ...in France, one of my children broke a toe while going down a slide. Faced with having to pay for her surgery and then claim back the cost, I produced my form E111 with a flourish—noble Lords may remember those days. I managed to convince the hospital authorities in my pidgin French, although that was more challenging. The E111 form worked a treat and surgery was performed at no cost to...

NHS Long Term Plan - Motion to Take Note (31 Jan 2019)

Lord Ribeiro: ...Long Term Plan, and we will have to wait until the end of the year. Similarly, funding for medical training is welcome, increasing training places from 6,000 to 7,500, but post Brexit more places may be required. NHS Improvement reported 11,576 whole-time equivalent medical vacancies in quarter 1 of 2017-18—a vacancy rate of 9.3%, up from 6.78% in the previous year. This is equivalent to...

Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill - Second Reading (23 Nov 2018)

Lord Ribeiro: ...kidney donors from BAME backgrounds to help out. That represents a fraction of the need. As a surgeon and an African, I understand the difficulties faced by BAME people in becoming donors. There may be religious, cultural or ill-informed reasons for saying no. I have experience of working as a patron of Transplant Links Community, or TLC, a charity that has transformed the lives of many...

Government Vision on Prevention - Statement ( 6 Nov 2018)

Lord Ribeiro: ...research programme and that, by taking account of individual differences in lifestyle, environment and biology, researchers will uncover paths towards delivering precision medicine. To date, since May this year, 100,000 people have signed up. What plans does the department have in the UK for a similar programme, and to use genomics for the benefit of all?

Brexit: Reciprocal Healthcare (European Union Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note ( 3 Jul 2018)

Lord Ribeiro: ...McCrory, described how co-operation in the ENT services had led to improved access to healthcare on both sides of the border. As is quoted in our report, she said: “Children were waiting for maybe four years for their first appointment if they had hearing difficulties, with all of the problems that that would have thrown up education-wise and so on. There was a very robust ENT service in...

Long-term Plan for the NHS - Statement (19 Jun 2018)

Lord Ribeiro: ...public are prepared to pay more towards the NHS. I suggest that if we look at the experience of Japan, where people over the age of 40 start making contributions towards their long-term care, we may well have an opportunity to resolve this problem. If the public are willing, the Government should look seriously at this in the context of social care.

Civil Liability Bill [HL] - Second Reading (24 Apr 2018)

Lord Ribeiro: ...Chancellor should include a medical expert, for the reasons the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas, gave. Medical knowledge and diagnostic assessments and skills are improving continuously and we may reach a point when we can set a timeframe for how long an injury may last.
