Health Bill [HL]

I am grateful to all noble Lords who have taken part in the debate. I still have a feeling that the word ““available”” is slightly weak; it is not proactive enough to convey the full sense of what we all, including the Minister, would like to see. I was reassured by the intentions that he outlined as regards publicising the constitution. It is a question of carrying on as we have started in that, if the Government do everything they say they are going to do, that will be great, but we want to make sure that this effort is maintained over the years into the indefinite future. Unless that happens, this document, like the late, lamented Patient’s Charter, will disappear off everyone’s radar. I shall think carefully about what the Minister has said between now and Report and decide how best to take the matter forward. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 9 withdrawn. Amendment 10 not moved. Sitting suspended.
