Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

I want to make the point that I made to the head of health in Unison. This initiative is not designed to abolish the cap, unless a clearer, firmer and more even framework could be put in its place. I explained that, and I agree that you could read the amendment as implying the removal of the cap. All that it actually says is that the framework will be the same for foundation and NHS trusts. Unison has a misunderstanding on that, which is the basis on which it has briefed the noble Lord, in my view.
