Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Earl. On the role of the board in commissioning services, I will make a general point: clearly the national Commissioning Board will be very important. How it works should be scrutinised. I suspect that this will lead us on to the question of the mandate, which we will debate next week. At this stage, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 85 withdrawn. Amendment 86 not moved. Clause 13 agreed. Clause 14 : Other services etc. provided as part of the health service Amendment 87 not moved. Amendments 88 and 89 Moved by
