Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

The previous clause, which the Minister amended, refers to ““any function””. Does the Minister consider it would be worth amending that to ““a function””? There is a great difference between ““any function””, which has an extremely broad scope and ““a function”” which can be delineated. You cannot claim that you can do anything under the Bill, but specifying ““a function”” allows you to be specific about what it is. I remain concerned that the clause still goes very wide, despite what the Minister has said.
