Clause 26 - Suspension and disqualification of practitioners
Health and Social Care Bill
12:00 pm
Mr Desmond Swayne (New Forest West, Conservative)
I could have dealt with this point in an intervention, but I failed to catch the Minister's eye. I was wondering about the degree of discretion that the amendment appears to give the Secretary of State. I refer specifically to the phrase in parentheses and ``whether or not exactly'' the two things may correspond to what has happened in a health board in Scotland, for example, as against the circumstances in England. Can the Minister give an example to bring that to life so that we can understand precisely what is meant?
