Proceeding contribution from Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

I am grateful for that intervention from my noble friend. I have no doubt that the noble Baroness, Lady Young, will have a lot to say about this as it is in the domain of the regulator. As to which ward has MRSA, every organisation has a legally accountable board. We are trying to get the board to be accountable not only for the whole place but also for every ward providing services and to act upon that information. I have no doubt it is within the domain of the regulator to ensure that boards are held accountable. If the regulator feels that transparency should go down to every ward, that is an issue that it will have to discuss with the board.
