Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

My Lords, I understand that supply teachers are covered in other parts of the Bill. As for workers who are employed by agencies, for example, they will have to be checked and vetted if they are working with vulnerable people, caring for them or undertaking personal, social service-type tasks for them. The NHS is specifically referred to because it is specifically referred to in the Bill. We are tidying up the Bill to ensure that it is absolutely explicit that there will not be a further burden on the NHS at this stage and that checks will be made when necessary. On Question, amendment agreed to.
