Proceeding contribution from Lord Ribeiro (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

For clarification, perhaps the noble Baroness would say whether we are dealing with apples and pears here. She made reference to the private sector and chronic care whereas she said specifically that the earlier 2006 report related to surgery. My understanding is that quite a lot of the competitive work done in the NHS involved ISTCs. These contracts were held by private practitioners and private companies. I have not read this report but we need clarification as to whether we are dealing with a level playing field of NHS provision or whether this is NHS provision against private provision.
