Greater London Authority Bill

Amendment No. 6 was specifically designed for the health appointments. The noble Baroness actually made the point for me. We very much feel that the status of a health appointment should be raised because of relationships. I know from my own local government side, with the local government Bills coming up and the relationships between local government and health, how they might co-operate to save money and make the health service better. It is the same in London. Therefore, the status of the health appointments should be raised, so the noble Baroness has made my point for me. She has said that they are important posts. These are very important posts, and that is why they should be included in the Bill.
