Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (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]

To seek more clarification, say that a maternity unit in a given area is found to have problems in the quality account, it may well be that the commissioning process is at fault and therefore that maternity department is not able to deliver to the required quality. The poor quality account in one maternity unit could act as a surrogate to identify that the problem exists in other maternity units too, and the root cause of the problem lies in the commissioning process being weak.
