NHS Redress Bill [HL]

I am most grateful to the Minister for that very open and honest reply, which sheds some extremely useful light on the decision taken in the department. As I understood him, the clause is designed to confer an element of flexibility where there are grey areas such as walk-in centres in hospitals that the Government might consider not to be appropriately within the scope of the scheme. Other examples may emerge, and I again appreciate that he cannot predict them. But we may well come back to the issue, because it is helpful for everyone to have as much detail as possible on record, given that this is a framework Bill without very much flesh on the bones. We have had a little flesh today, but we may well come back for more. Clause 2 agreed to. Clause 3 [Redress under scheme]: [Amendment No. 7 not moved.]
