Proceeding contribution from Baroness Cumberlege (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Is the noble Lord aware of the time when the Department of Health, through its chief executive, challenged Monitor on an area that was specifically about foundation trusts? That was an example of Monitor, which had a strong chair, resisting the challenge. Nevertheless, the attempt was made by the department to take over some of the independence that Monitor quite rightly and through the law had as its own.
