NHS Redress Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on NHS Redress Bill [HL].
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Royall of Blaisdon, for her response on Amendments Nos. 44 and 45. I raised in Committee the point about complaints being directed from the redress scheme towards complaints schemes and about ensuring that the process by which that was done was fair to individuals. The noble Baroness gave a very technical presentation of the subject information provisions of the Data Protection Act. It would be grossly unfair to ask her, without notice, to explain exactly what she means, but subject information provisions are extremely important, particularly in relation to health and social care information. I would therefore very much welcome it if she would write to me to explain precisely what the provisions are. I believe that the noble Baroness is talking about information on a person that may refer to other individuals. I ask her to write to me in some detail about that before the Bill reaches the next stage.
