Biography
Lord Fuller has engaged with health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches across eight distinct areas, with particular emphasis on elderly care and frailty, learning disability and autism, and maternity and neonatal issues. His contributions have drawn on extensive experience as a council leader, notably in a speech on the Social Housing Bill where he highlighted the need for 3,500 adapted homes for an ageing and impaired population, and in a Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill debate where he addressed welfare food entitlements for young children. His health and social care engagement reflects a practical, evidence-based approach grounded in local government experience rather than repeated or specialised focus on any single topic.

“My Lords, environmentalists are up in arms on the nature restoration fund and EDPs because they break the link between a development and its nature mitigations. Developers are saying that the cost, risks and delay are making development unviable.”

There are hard truths that need to be told about the practical effects, which include incentivising the importation of the most polluting products while jobs are…”

“…I remember that, when devising our local plan, there was a need for 3,500 adapted homes and supported living units; it was about 10% of the total housing need. It is an important issue, but not one you would gather from this Bill.”

“Will the noble Baroness give way? Do I understand that she is advocating, for the events that would fall within the ambit of this Bill, the prevention of strike action? It would be welcomed by many people to save the inconvenience she mentions and would do a lot to level the playing field.”

“…I spent about £3 million a year adapting homes for an ageing population. In some cases, it might have been a grab rail or a ramp. In one case, a £75,000 extension was required. When, as so often happens, the tenant passes away and the home is re-advertised, no credit can be given for those adaptations.”

“My Lords, I will speak to Motion F1 and particularly Clauses 37 and 91. Large parts of England—about 20% or one-fifth—will be unparished when the Government have finished vandalising our councils with LGR—the historic county boroughs, cathedral cities such as Norwich and Oxford, coastal communities such as Great Yarmou…”
