Proceeding contribution from Chi Onwurah (Labour) 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)

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the many excellent points he is making. Is it his understanding, as it is mine, that all the local healthwatch activities could be carried out by private sector—and therefore, for-profit—bodies? Does he feel that providing the strong, independent, representative voice for local people should be a profitable activity for private sector organisations?
