Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 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

My Lords, my name is on Amendments 222, 223 and 223A, which relate to the same issue that both the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, and the noble Baroness, Lady Williams, have covered about the quality payments. It would be wrong if these quality payments were going to any persons, whether they be GPs or employees of the commissioning groups. If they are, my amendment says states we should specify in the Bill what they can be used for. It would be perfectly appropriate if they were used for improving patient care and better outcomes for patients—that is what they ought to be about.
