Proceeding contribution from Richard Taylor (Independent (affiliation)) 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]
I will not comment on that point. The Minister has said that the redress scheme will be owned by the NHS. I entirely agree that the investigation has to be carried out, but there must be independent oversight for it to gain any confidence among the ordinary people. I understand that he said in Committee that he favoured a scheme that encouraged the NHS to own up to mistakes. I agree, but was not he being a little naive? Surely, there has to be independent outside oversight to ensure that an investigation is full and open and allows no cover-up.
