Health and Social Care Bill

That was a helpful reply, which I shall have to reflect on. The example that she gave illustrates why the Bill is so worded, but it is an example of factual information giving rise to concerns. That is a different sort of case from tittle-tattle or unsubstantiated rumour and unfounded allegation. It is difficult to think of how the wording could be altered to capture one type of case rather than the other, but maybe the combined ingenuity of the noble Baroness and others between now and Report will suggest a further amendment. I understand what she said about the need in certain circumstances not to inform the practitioner against whom an allegation has been made. This is an appropriate matter for guidance rather than the Bill, and I welcome what she said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 150A and 151 not moved.] Clause 116 agreed to. Clause 117 agreed to.
