Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I am enormously grateful to the noble Baroness. She has answered some of the questions that I put. However, the question I wanted to ask related to her remarks about 15 minutes ago, when her argument seemed to be that this amendment recreated the former Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health. Does she acknowledge that this is a completely different structure, because it would be derived from the bottom up, with the support of local healthwatch organisations? What is more, it would not have to be encumbered by the bureaucracy that the Department of Health formerly imposed on that commission. It is a completely different structure.
