Clause 5 - Income Generation
Health and Social Care Bill
6:45 pm
Mr John Denham (Minister of State, Department of Health; Southampton, Itchen, Labour)
My understanding is that the development of NHS Plus, the organisation envisaged in the NHS plan to market occupational health services, would not require use of the powers, but I acknowledge that the provision goes wider than our specific aim of developing the exploitation of intellectual property rights. It might be used in several other ways to provide a flexible or different means of income generation.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 5 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
