Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) 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

I am horribly confused by this term. I understood for a long time that NHS provider meant someone from the independent sector providing services to the NHS. That term became common parlance during the time when the noble Earl’s party was in government and I have used it frequently. I am all for plain English and would support it to the hilt, but we need a bit more clarification on what this phrase means.
