Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) 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 had not wished to intervene at this stage and I am waiting for a later part of the Bill, but I cannot understand what the noble Earl is driving at. The criticism that I have heard from people within the care profession is that there is an insufficiently clear description of what would constitute good practice within care homes. As I understand it, the public look to Parliament to set out clearly the direction that the commission should be taking. All the examples which the noble Earl called on in arguing that the Government have gone too far were examples that the public would expect them to act on—particularly in guiding the commission on what emphasis it should give to what the public regard as most important.
