Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS Redress Bill (HL).


NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

The core criticism of the Bill is that the NHS will be judge, jury and defendant if negligence occurs. The Minister is now telling us that, in addition to being judge, jury and defendant, the NHS can withhold the report on the investigation of the facts in some cases from the person who has been wronged. How can that be right? How will that be heard outside the House?
