Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

My Lords, that is useful, because it proves my point that the consultation process will flesh out exactly how people are approaching joint implementation teams. Our officials have been engaged, and we are aware of what is going on in various parts of the country, because we are in an intense period of consultation. We will go on in the next few weeks to meet all the joint implementation teams, including in Northumberland. Officials were there quite recently. We are keeping a very close eye on the process. I am very glad to know that people are getting on with it and that they want to proceed quickly. Clearly, it would be remiss of us if we were not to be closely following that process. If there was such a situation, and it was so serious that we felt this had to happen, the Secretary of State could specify the composition of a joint committee in the implementation order. Where there are different views locally, it could be that the Secretary of State herself would decide, having regard to all local views. That remains a power that is open to her. I will finish there, because I have no further detail to add. It may help the noble Baroness if I put that in writing for her.
