Proceeding contribution from Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care (Re-committed) Bill.


[2nd Allocated Day]

The power to establish NHS trusts is contained in previous legislation. The Bill provides for, in due course, the repeal of the provision to establish NHS trusts. As we indicated in our response to the NHS future forum, that will not take place for several years to come. Regardless of that, however, the Secretary of State will retain the power to establish special health authorities that can exercise a provider function.
