Proceeding contribution from Lord Lipsey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Presumably, the commission will have to have regard to the Bill and give instructions as to what is to be taken on board. I can imagine sheets of guidance going to every hospital and care home in the country on what has to be reported and in what form. This is the kind of bureaucratic madness that can follow half-thought-out bits of legislation.
