Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

I suspect that if I respond to that intervention, Mr Hoyle, you will rule me out of order. To go back in order, if as the SNP suggests all health care professions—doctors, dentists and so on—are regulated separately in Scotland, it would add more cost and bureaucracy. It would also mean that a doctor who is qualified in Scotland and who wants to move to England would have to get separate qualifications, and vice versa. That would not benefit patients, and nor would it assist professional development.
