The noble Baroness will be fully aware—and I should probably declare an interest here—that I work in a specialist hospital. I have a very high regard for specialist services. We have debated many times the role of specialist providers. High Quality Care for All and the 10 regional reports show a high regard for specialist services. That is one area in which I have tremendous confidence, as have, historically, most of those who commission specialist services. I hope that they will look at their consultative processes in greater detail in future because they are important services and are the jewels in the crown of NHS provision.
