Clause 2 - Payments relating to past performance
Health and Social Care Bill
4:45 pm
Mr John Maxton (Glasgow Cathcart, Labour)
I remind the Committee that with this we are taking amendment No. 68, in page 3, line 5, at end insert—
`(3CC) The Secretary of State shall publish annually a report detailing, in respect of each Health Authority to which he has made payments under subsection (3C) above—
(a) the objectives notified to that Health Authority under (3C)(a) above; and
(b) the criteria notified to that Health Authority under paragraph (3C)(b) above; and
(c) the methods of measuring their performance which he has used in assessing them for payment of further sums in accordance with subsection (3C) above; and
(d) his assessment of their performance against the objectives notified in accordance with paragraph (3C)(a) above and the criteria notified in accordance with paragraph (3C)(b) above; and
(e) the further sums paid to them in accordance with subsection (3C) above.'
Perhaps it would be convenient for the Committee if I let right hon. and hon. Members know that I intend breaking for dinner at 7 pm and resuming at 8 pm. However, that is flexible and if it appears that we can finish today's business within a reasonable time scale—15 or 20 minutes—we will continue until we have finished.
