Proceeding contribution from Lord Mawhinney (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 November 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

I am sorry, I may be the only person in the Committee who is thick enough not to understand what is going on, but I have to say that I do not. I asked the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, to define something that she said she was in favour of, which was area-based entities, but she palmed that off on to the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay. I would be grateful if she would define what an area is. Is it a county, a city, a town or a village? Is it the north-east or the south-west? Who in the context of this Bill does she see as having responsibility for defining the area and addressing the issue in the area?
