Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his extensive reply. When I moved this amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Walton of Detchant, I did not think there would be such enthusiasm to join in. I was surprised by the enthusiasm generated by his amendment, and I thank noble Lords who joined in. The most reverend Primate said this amendment was not necessary. I hope that he was not referring to the amendments that I had tabled, or I would say to him that my amendments were ““zuri sana””—for those of you who do not understand, that means they were very good. He understands that. The noble Earl has, to a degree, clarified the Government’s thinking on what the role of these senates will be. As he said, it is work in progress. Of course, we will need to wait and see what the details are. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 51 withdrawn. Clause 6 agreed. Amendment 52 not moved. Schedule 1 : The National Health Service Commissioning Board Schedule 1 : The National Health Service Commissioning Board Amendments 52A to 57 not moved. Amendment 57A Moved by
