Proceeding contribution from Lord Warner (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on NHS Redress Bill [HL].

NHS Redress Bill [HL]

As I have said, it is true that Clause 8(1)(b) is drawn widely, but that is a benefit. Throughout the passage of the Bill we have said that we will be consulting stakeholders on the precise arrangement. I was trying to be indicative to the Committee in giving some examples of how this might be done. I said at the end of my remarks, which were intentionally rather full, that we would look again at the issues around Amendment No. 45, to see whether we could make items clearer in the Bill. I would like to take this aspect away and consider it further, rather than making up policy on the hoof.
