Clause 26 - Suspension and disqualification of practitioners
Health and Social Care Bill
12:00 pm
Mr John Denham (Minister of State, Department of Health; Southampton, Itchen, Labour)
I believe, and I will certainly write to the hon. Gentleman if I am wrong, that because the tests that we are introducing on suitability, efficiency and fraud into the English legislation do not mirror directly the tests applied by the NHS tribunals in Scotland and Wales, which currently have the test of efficiency, they do not map on to each other directly. It will be necessary to allow one to be translated into the other to achieve the same effect.
Amendment agreed to.
