Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) 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]
When the Minister says that he does not want to create a different reporting and accountability structure for foundation trusts, the reality is that there is a different reporting and accountability structure. As I have said, for foundation trusts it is Parliament, Monitor and the board of governors. For NHS trusts, it is the Secretary of State and the strategic health authority, not Monitor. The structure is already different, which is my concern. I very much take the Minister’s point that the Secretary of State is purely putting the information on to the website, but what about the strategic health authority? Why should any information on a foundation trust go to a strategic health authority, when in no other respect is there a relationship between those bodies?
