Proceeding contribution from Baroness Cumberlege (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

I support my noble friend and the noble Baroness, Lady Murphy, on this. I have a key question: what has changed in six years? Why are we rowing back? My perception of Monitor is that it has been a very effective regulator—as the noble Baroness has said, probably because it has used its powers sparingly but effectively. There has been minimal disruption but we have seen standards improve. When one compares foundation trusts with other trusts, there is no doubt that they excel. What has changed?
