Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (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]

Why should we not make it a requirement? Surely, PCTs or other local health-related organisations would be sounding boards in an area. Perhaps they might wish to qualify it, prior to submission to the Secretary of State. They might want to argue with the trust or the local provider that they have not necessarily got the facts right, or they might want to challenge something. Is it not better to have the challenge at that stage rather than when the Secretary of State finally makes the document available to the public?
