NHS Redress Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on NHS Redress Bill [HL].
Is the Minister able to go a little further than that? If we imagine that someone is unhappy about a decision taken by the NHSLA, it is right that that decision is open to judicial review. But if the legal advice given to the NHSLA is privileged or partly privileged, the necessary degree of transparency will not exist. Is the Minister saying that there will inevitably be an element of non-disclosure? I am not quite sure from his reply whether that will be so, or whether the patient will effectively be allowed to see everything.
