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

It is essential for public assurance that the Care Quality Commission takes the same approach to all types of provider. That is our starting point. It is not a question of who is more or less equal, but of how you make both bodies work effectively together. The existing legislation sets out Monitor’s statutory powers to intervene, and the new legislation will give the Care Quality Commission statutory powers to apply sanctions. The two bodies have to work out how best to apply the best of what they do.
