Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) 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

Lower prices may be determined for simpler procedures, but this matter is far more complicated than that. If a lot of the simpler procedures are creamed off, the public sector institution may not be viable, which the research again shows. It is not straightforward. People concerned with long-term and complex conditions fear that over time such a differential organisational and pricing structure could lead to a two-tier system.
