Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

This issue has been discussed at Second Reading and in Committee. The point that I was trying to make—and I apologise if it was opaque—was that the Care Quality Commission’s job will be to set up the very best and most robust regulatory system to ensure that complaints are handled properly, including ensuring that those who are most vulnerable can have their voice heard. That is its job. We must therefore ensure that the regulatory framework that we agree further down the line does that.
