NHS Redress Bill [HL]

The Minister prays in aid Clause 10(2)(h). However, will he direct me to the part of the Bill which indicates that whatever happens under Clause 10(2)(h) by way of an explanation goes back to the person originally involved in the case? While I can see what the Minister is driving at, his response does not satisfy the one point which is made repeatedly, which is that people say they do not want the relevant incident to happen to anyone else and that that is more important to them than an apology. That is the biggest concern of many people who have experience of adverse incidents occurring in the NHS. Clause 10(2)(h) refers to ““advising the member””. I took that to be a member of the scheme. I do not know whether other Members of the Committee did the same. However, I cannot see the connection back to the relevant person and the connection between the individual case and the general learning of lessons, which is what we on these Benches are driving at.
