Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neuberger (Liberal Democrat) 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]
I support the noble Earl on Amendments Nos. 48 and 49. To some extent, we have been round some of the principles behind them, but we have concerns. We would like to hear further from the Minister how the decisions are made and who the provider of legal and advice services should be. It could be the Law Society, it could be AVMA or it could be the Legal Services Commission. If it is the Legal Services Commission, how will the decision be made on quality? At what level of quality mark would it be? We would like to tease out a little further what level of expertise one might expect as well as the stage at which one might be able to draw such legal advice into the procedure. Will it be only at the point when an offer is made?
