Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS Redress Bill [HL].


NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

Is not there an inconsistency between the Secretary of State saying that GPs, because they are independent contractors, will not be included, while independent sector treatment centres will fall within the scope of the scheme? If they are independent contractors to the NHS, what is the difference between them and GPs as independent contractors?
