Proceeding contribution from Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL].


Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 58:"Page 4, line 26, after ““which”” insert—" ““(i)””    The noble Lord said: In moving government Amendment No. 58, I shall speak first to Amendment No. 59. The intention of Amendment No. 59 is to reflect the policy that the commissioner should be able to review and monitor arrangements made by a person providing a service on behalf of, or under arrangements with, a Schedule 3 body, but only if the service is one that, if provided by a Schedule 3 body itself, would be a ““relevant service””—that is, provided in a field in which the Assembly has functions. Without the amendment, the commissioner’s role would be wider than intended and would enable him to review and monitor arrangements in respect of any service provided on behalf of, or under arrangements with, a Schedule 3 body. This would have included, for example, any service provided on behalf of, or under arrangements with, a family health service provider regardless of whether it was a family health service. Government Amendment No. 58 is a technical amendment necessary for the introduction of a second limb to the definition of a ““relevant service”” in the case of a person providing services on behalf of, or under arrangements with, a Schedule 3 body. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
