NHS Redress Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that response, which helped to clarify that the important functions of dissemination of guidance on good practice and training have not been overlooked in the rather open wording of the Bill. I should have said earlier that we welcomed the Minister’s remarks in his letter about the Healthcare Commission. We believe that the more the Healthcare Commission is involved in monitoring the redress scheme in particular trusts, the better. It would be an added layer of vigilance over the scheme that was perhaps not obvious previously. I have listened to the Minister’s remarks and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 41 not moved.]
