Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2006

I endorse that comment. The Minister said that it was the belief of her department that the CRU offered best value for money in delivering the services that it does, but it did not seem from what she said that that belief was based on any hard evidence, because her department simply had not tested any alternatives. She said that there were no plans to put the work out to tender, but if the rules which were published in 1997 by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster still apply, I am not quite sure why that decision was taken. I would be grateful if the Minister came back to me and the noble Baroness on that issue.
