Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

If the noble Lord would like to help me try to get 12 district councils and one county council to agree the thing, he is welcome. It is very difficult to do that. We might have one or two districts that do not like parts of a proposal. In the end, we might get there. What we are trying to do in this very helpful legislation, which I totally support, is to have enough teeth not to force people into something but to make certain that the mechanism is there to try to make it happen. That is why I tabled the amendments. A lot of the reply by the noble Baroness was helpful, particularly on finance, but there should be more clarity in the Bill to encourage everyone to make certain that they participate in it, and that is what we are trying to do.
