Proceeding contribution from Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 4)

Just to be absolutely clear, clinical commissioning groups cannot subcontract decision making about their commissioning functions—that is crucial to the effective delivery of this. On the issue of the local healthwatch organisations, the Bill makes it clear that local healthwatch has to exist in each locality, and that local authorities have to contract for it to exist and to provide the range of services that the Bill provides for it to undertake.
