Health and Social Care Bill

The point that I will raise with the Minister is far less important than the one just raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay. I merely point to new Section 14Z19. Simply, I am puzzled about its heading, which refers to the ““Power to give directions””. My understanding was that we had already discussed at great length the fact that the only powers to give direction depended on the existence of a failure. Whether there is a mistake in the text, I do not know. Perhaps the Minister can explain why the power to intervene relating to the Secretary of State suddenly creeps back into the Bill when I thought that we had established that it was elicited only by a significant failure.
