Health Bill [HL]

That was an extraordinarily helpful intervention by the noble Baroness. I certainly take her point but equally one could imagine circumstances in which someone who needed help in presenting a case—and it might be a good case—was prevented from doing so because the ombudsman decided, for whatever reason, that representation was not appropriate. Therefore, one would hope that the rules that the ombudsman had to follow, or the guidance or whatever that was laid down, would distinguish between the two types of case. Nevertheless, I do not propose to detain the Committee further. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 116 withdrawn. Amendments 117 to 120 not moved.
