Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jolly (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I can give an example of where it has been provided. Today I have been talking to the operations director of Peninsula Health Care. That was the provider arm for the Cornwall PCT which was providing community hospitals and community services, and which is now a community interest company as of 1 October 2011. It has already brought across all the arrangements that it has with its local authority; Section 75 and so on, shared budgets for equipment, and all sorts of innovative work alongside. The whole thrust of the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, was part of our manifesto, it was part of the coalition agreement, and I feel quite comfortable about supporting it.
