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 am of course willing to hold discussions with the noble Baroness, but I remind her that we have explicitly provided for Monitor to use its licensing powers to support integration and co-operation when that is in the interests of patients. We were fully aware of that issue when drafting the Bill. Later amendments, which we will debate today, will strengthen the ability of Monitor even further.
