Proceeding contribution from Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, first, I am delighted this time to support the noble Earl, Lord Howe, in Amendment No. 16. I am amazed that this had not occurred to me or anyone else in Committee. I suppose that we all made assumptions—I assumed that agencies employing staff used in health and social care would somehow be covered. I could not believe that that was not so. I support the noble Earl and look forward to hearing the Minister's response and his reassurance that the Bill covers what the amendment is intended to cover.
