Health and Social Care Bill

I am not sure. I will have to study carefully the noble Baroness’s words in Hansard, although I welcome the thrust of her response. At times we appear to be inching towards agreement, but at other times we are as far apart as ever. In her response, the noble Baroness again talked about the fact that registration is a new process for the NHS and therefore a novel burden for the service, but it is not new for social care. One of the ways that social care has gone beyond that is in the form of regulation set out in these amendments. Given that, perhaps the noble Baroness will understand, even if she cannot agree, that we are concerned that social care should not be pulled backwards by the process envisaged for it. Having said that, I thank noble Lords who have spoken in support of these amendments. I take some heart from what the noble Baroness has said, but I believe that we may return to this matter at some point. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 83 to 89 not moved.]
