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]

Let me put my point to the Minister in another way. This Bill is a wasted opportunity, as is suggested by the Government’s amendments, because there is nothing in it that cannot already happen now. Trusts can investigate themselves now, and the NHS Litigation Authority can make an offer now. The point of introducing independence is that that introduces something new that will give credibility and thoroughness to the fact-finding stage.
