Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) 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
The panel is not a regulator; it advises the department. My understanding is that because it will have a high-calibre and independent chair and vice-chair, it will have the resources to draw on independent advice from competition economists, lawyers and anyone else it cares to ask and then put its recommendations on competition issues to the department. As the noble Baroness knows, I am very much in favour of the competition and choice agenda, and it is very likely that many people will be watching to see how this works and will see that it is reviewed in due course.
