Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

I am grateful to my honourable friend—I am sorry, I mean my noble friend; I keep calling him honourable, but I am sure he is as well—for that response to the noble Lord, Lord Turnberg. The issue is really quite fundamental. If what my noble friend has described is a purely advisory board, the board will not therefore be able to take any executive decisions about the nature of the research that it carries out; that will be totally dependent on the Secretary of State passing it down. Is that so? If so, how in fact will it interface with, for example, the new European programme, programme 8, in terms of European-wide research on public health?
