Proceeding contribution from Baroness Cumberlege (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I thank the Minister for that reply. However, I am even less reassured because the panel is a creature of the department, and a body that will regulate competition in the NHS really should be independent. I understood her to say that the panel is not independent in that it is there just to advise the department, so who will regulate the economic side of this in the way that other regulators do?
