Proceeding contribution from Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat) 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 take the point that the panel should be flexible and can appoint more members, but if the minimum is to be three, that does not cover the possibility of someone not turning up or someone being ill at the last minute. In any case, to have three members of a panel deciding on the future of a doctor and whether they can pursue their livelihood for the rest of their lives is, frankly, an insult. The minimum should be five.
