Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I very much agree with my noble friend that we want to see a breaking down of silos, if I can put it that way, and a mutual respect and dependence appearing at commissioning level. I am not aware of any examples of clinical physiologists or perfusionists being involved in the commissioning of care. On the face of it, that seems unlikely, although not impossible; I would not rule it out. I take my noble friend's point about our general wish to see a raising of quality not only in commissioning but also in the provision of care. It is a point well made.
