Health Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the Minister. At the same time, he will recognise that there is an anxiety out there that bodies will be told to change the information that they are supplying from year to year and that no sooner than they get used to one set of indicators they will have to alter them and move on to another set. There is a value for the public, and certainly for Ministers, in looking at trends, as I mentioned. As we often say in these debates, there is a balance to be struck. I take on board that the Minister said that we will find newer and better ways of measuring things. However, I ask him to bear those points in mind.
