Health and Social Care Bill

moved Amendment No. 62A: 62A: Clause 34, page 17, line 17, after ““available”” insert ““in electronic form”” The noble Baroness said: This is a straightforward probing amendment. Clause 34 rather gives the impression that it is about paper registers being available at offices for inspections at reasonable times. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that, just as CSCI does now, the new commission works primarily in an electronic form. I am therefore seeking clarification that the CQC will not have to keep up-to-date paper records of those whom it inspects, but can fulfil its functions simply by having electronic registers. I beg to move.
