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]
Can we have a little bit of clarification? There is no suggestion here that everyone move up to 30 per cent. I was stating facts. One NHS foundation trust has a 30 per cent cap, while others have 5 per cent. What we need is an even playing field and what that should look like is a matter for discussion with Ministers and a consultation across the country. No one is suggesting any increase in the cap—any loosening of the system. I would like to see a tightening of the system, while others would like to see a loosening of the system, but this amendment does not address those issues.
