Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 October 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, this is Parliament. We can take a decision. It is not about changing the NHS Constitution. We are seeking to put some of the principles of the constitution in the Bill. We think that that is a perfectly proper thing to do. I beg to test the opinion of the House. Division on Amendment 1 Contents 212; Not-Contents 244. Amendment 1 disagreed. Clause 1 : Secretary of State's duty to promote comprehensive health service
