Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I very briefly take the point made about an apology for the mistake. I do this because when I was an advocate I appeared before the BMA for quite a lot of medical professionals. If your client says, ““I am terribly sorry for my mistake””, it puts one in a very difficult position; the advocate must show that the mistake had nothing to do with the result. I will not take up time, but say merely, as an erstwhile advocate, watch it.
