Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I did have a speech prepared in support of this amendment, based on the Welsh experience. However, after being woken by the ““Today”” programme telling me about a debate that we had not had—or that I thought I might have perhaps slept through—and announcing how the Government had responded in a way that I could not recall, I decided simply to bin my speech and live in hope. That is how we all are at the moment. We await the Government's response to the amendments.
