Health and Social Care Bill

I would like to address the Minister’s response to both amendments. I am most grateful for the wide support that both these amendments received from the Committee. My concern is that if we are to be user focused, we must have the user at the heart of the process, particularly because, as the noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, so eloquently pointed out, there will be a broad range of types of inspections from very large hospitals down to nursing homes, small units and social care providers who are very disparate. A one-size-fits-all approach cannot be taken. I greatly appreciate the Minister’s assurance that he will undertake to strengthen the current arrangements as laid out, and because of that assurance, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Schedule 1 agreed to. Clause 2 [The Commission’s functions]: [Amendments Nos. 12 to 14 not moved.]
