Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) 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 hon. Gentleman has therefore confirmed that the NHS would be investigating itself, as the person would be an employee of the NHS— [Interruption] The hon. Gentleman says from a sedentary position, not necessarily. Let me ask him again: is that person an employee of the NHS, or is the person employed outside the NHS? Would each NHS trust have an independent investigator? An elaborate scheme was put forward in Committee for patient redress investigators, and this proposal appears to be different. For the sake of a good debate, he needs to clarify this point.
