Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (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

I hoped that I had already made it clear to the noble Baroness that collaborative behaviour when it is in the interests of the patients—and I distinguish that from collusive behaviour, which is almost certainly not in the interests of patients—will be regarded by Monitor as trumping the need for competition to be deployed in services. I am not sure that I understand what the noble Baroness's problem is in this area; she should be reassured by that.
