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 do not believe that that is what I said. The quality improvement also needs the support of the commissioner. I hope that, with the transparency of this information, if providers are embarking on a quality improvement exercise they should encourage their commissioners to be part of that partnership. To be honest, we have seen examples of this in social care. Best provision usually happens when commissioners are working with providers strategically and jointly. I do not think that providers would be critical of commissioners. It will encourage commissioners and providers to work closer and better together.
