Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (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

No; the point that I am making is that LINks have their own accountability and that accountability should not be through the commission. That is not to say that LINks will not be involved very closely with the commission, as I said in my earlier remarks and as my noble friend said in the letter that you received. Of course, LINks will form a significant part of the work of the commission in this respect.
