Proceeding contribution from Lord Owen (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 December 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 thank the Minister for his explanation earlier. I found much of it convincing, particularly his statement that Professor Mike Rawlins thought that this was a vote of confidence in his organisation. I have long had respect for Professor Rawlins—he was an adviser to the SDP many years ago, so I can hardly disavow his advice at this stage. I urge the Minister to consider for one moment that Amendment 342 would go a long way towards reassuring a lot of us. It would take out the word ““direct”” and put in the concept of agreeing, which would be much more beneficial if he wants to establish the relationship in reality.
