Health Bill [HL]

I can tell that the Minister just wants to be different —and why not? I note in passing that whereas my amendments would have removed two words from the Bill, hers removes one, which I cannot help thinking is not quite such an economical approach; Occam’s razor ought to apply, and all that. Nevertheless, of course I do not go so far as to object to Amendment 120A, and I thank her for her remarks. Incidentally, the Public Bill Office discouraged me from tabling another amendment to this same sub-paragraph where it says, ""‘the SPSOA 2002’ means the Sottish Public Services Ombudsman Act 2002"." I thought that the ombudsman would want that corrected, and no doubt it can be without the need for an amendment. Amendment 120 agreed. Amendments 121 and 122 not moved. Schedule 5, as amended, agreed.
