Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (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 said that one of the outcomes that he seeks is a reduction in the pay-outs made by trusts. Even if he is right and the Government’s proposed system effects a cultural change, is it not possible that there may be an increase in pay-outs because of an NHS that better recognises the mistakes that it has made? I am grateful to him for being so frank and laying out possible measures, but I wonder whether the one that he has described is the right one.
