Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].

Health Bill [HL]

I will be very brief indeed. I have a single question for the opposition Front Bench. It arises from my conversation a couple of weeks ago with some colleagues at the other end and I can put it on the back of this amendment. Are the official Opposition satisfied with the general principles in the NHS Constitution, or is it the case that at some stage in the near future, in the event of a change of Government, they would want to revisit the NHS Constitution and, indeed, rewrite it? Would it endure for, say, at least a Parliament? That is all I wanted to ask.
