Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his oral contribution of 14 July 2021, Official Report, column 427, if he will clarify which posts would be subject to Schedule 2, Clause 17 of the Health and Care Bill.
Answer
Schedule 2, Clause 17 of the Health and Care Bill does not refer to specific posts as it has been designed to be flexible to allow local areas to determine what they need. This will function in much the same way as it does in current clinical commissioning groups.
