Clause 5 - Income Generation
Health and Social Care Bill
6:45 pm
Mr Desmond Swayne (New Forest West, Conservative)
I have some questions for the Minister on clause 5 which essentially gives the Secretary of State the same powers with respect to income generation. Will the hon. Gentleman spell out precisely the ways in which he sees that taking place? I should be interested in his analysis of the extent to which he expects the NHS to be able to export its management skills, certainly in the short term and in ways that he believes will be attractive to the private sector.
