Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS Redress Bill (HL).

NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

The Minister is slightly disingenuous, as I tabled probing amendments. The principle remains the same—we believe that whoever investigates the facts should be independent of the trust under investigation. That has been a constant theme throughout. I tabled a probing amendment on redress investigators, but it was never pressed to a vote—it was simply a question of exploring alternatives. We want independence—that is the bottom line—but the Minister has admitted that he will not provide it.
