Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

Would it be possible for the local authority overview and scrutiny committees and county authorities to have a role in evaluating the pilot schemes? Often their reports are what I would call near to the ground. I understand the use of independent expert teams, and so on, but the danger is that these organisations are from outside and do not understand all the local circumstances. I should think that overview and scrutiny committees would have a local input role.
