Health Bill [HL]

Clause 6(1) refers to each body listed publishing a document; that is, "““publish in respect of each reporting period””." Then, Clause 7(4) refers to: "““A copy of any document published””," and goes on to talk about them being ““available to the public””. Does that mean that both of these bodies will be in a position to publish? If a report can be blocked in the circumstances of one particular provider, how can it be blocked if the provider has the power to publish the material already under Clause 6(1)? It does not matter if my noble friend answers the question now; it is on the record. Perhaps officials could look at it and clarify the position on Report.
