Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

moved Amendment No. 204HA: 204HA: Clause 106, page 67, line 14, after ““other”” insert ““public sector health”” The noble Baroness said: Amendment No. 204HA is grouped with Amendments Nos. 206 and 207 to 209 in the name of my noble friend Lady Scott, who will speak to them, and with Amendments Nos. 205 and 207A. My amendment is probably the least of these. It takes us to the clause that tells us who the partner authorities are; I suspect that the term ““partner”” will crop up a good deal in this discussion. The amendment is simply probing. It seeks to insert the words ““public sector health”” into ““other establishment or facility””, not because I am particularly making the case for public sector health establishments and facilities—that case might be made at another point—but to understand what the term ““other establishment or facility”” means in this context. It comes after a reference to a hospital, and it would be helpful to know what the Government have in mind so that we all know who we will be working with. I beg to move.
