Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

That was a more disappointing answer than the last one that I got on diversity, but I will read Hansard carefully. I do not want to continue the debate tonight, except to say that PCTs are interested in their own areas, and it is not clear to me whether they will have to come together before they negotiate with the wider authority. The noble Baroness said that she did not want them to negotiate separately. I am not sure about ““separately””, but each PCT will want to negotiate on behalf of its own area, and it will not be interested in another area on the other side of a far-flung county, perhaps 50 miles away. There is thought to be had there but, in the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 214ZB not moved.] Clause 118 agreed to. Clause 119 [Interpretation of Chapter]: [Amendment No. 214A not moved.] Clause 119 agreed to. Clause 120 agreed to.
