Proceeding contribution from Baroness Murphy (Crossbench) 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 response. There is no doubt that there have been many discussions, and I know that Bill Moyes, the chairman of Monitor, has met the noble Baroness, Lady Young, on a number of occasions to discuss how they are going to work together. It is crucial that we are clear how this is going to work. It has the potential to create really serious problems, not just for foundation trusts but for both regulators. That is something which the Government should follow with interest when the Bill is enacted. I will be frank and say that I have no intention of bringing this issue back at the Report stage because it would not be fitting—all regulatory bodies are ultimately accountable to the Government for what they do. But I believe that it is utterly crucial that the regulators should sit down together and produce clear guidance to make it absolutely clear to everyone how this is going to work, thus ensuring that there is no confusion. With that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 66 agreed to. Clauses 67 to 76 agreed to. Clause 77 [Publication of programme of reviews etc.]: [Amendment No. 107 not moved.] Clause 77 agreed to. Clause 78 agreed to. Clause 79 [Reports for each financial year etc.]: [Amendments Nos. 108 and 109 not moved.] Clause 79 agreed to. Clauses 80 to 83 agreed to. [Amendments Nos. 109A and 109B not moved.] Clause 84 agreed to. Clause 85 [Publication of information relating to enforcement action etc.]: [Amendment No. 110 not moved.] Clause 85 agreed to. Clauses 86 and 87 agreed to. Clause 88 [Unincorporated associations]:
