Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

There are separate arrangements to ensure that the patient has a clear involvement. The other provision that arises from Dame Janet Smith's inquiry into Shipman is that there will no longer be a majority of professionals on these bodies; there will be equality for lay people. That offers an important reassurance.
