Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I listened carefully to what my noble friend said. She emphasised more than once that the commission will make information available to the public. The problem is that it is the commission doing so; I want the home to do it. As the noble Lord, Lord Neill of Bladen, said, when you walk through the door of the home you should see the information there, be guided to it, or read that it is available. I want that to be a statutory obligation on the home. My noble friend referred to the commission’s website. I am afraid that most people do not use or have access to websites. We presume that everybody uses a computer, but I am sure that many who place people in homes simply do not have access to that kind of arrangement. My noble friend said something positive—that there was scope for such a requirement. I hope that the new person responsible for all these matters—the noble Baroness, Lady Young—has taken that on board and that, wherever possible, she places a requirement on homes to make sure that such information is available to people such as me when we are placing our relatives. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 60 [Power to require documents and information etc.]:
