Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I very much support the amendment. I would have thought that this was, far from being boring for Governments, extremely encouraging to them. Although it may be normal practice to get rid of something when you come to office and then perhaps reinvent it slightly differently at a later stage, the fact that you will save money if you act early and get the message across to people is to be highly recommended. I would have thought that there should be no difficulty whatever in the Government accepting the amendment. I hope that they will.
