Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I thank the Minister for his reassurance on the matter of the non-executives. I wish to take issue with one point. Amendment No. 9 states: "““The Commission must also appoint a Children and Adult Rights Director, who is to be an employee of the Commission””." Where on earth does that suggest that it should be a board member? It does not. We need an understanding of what a member is because it will be important for all kinds of amendments further down the line.
