Clause 13 - Patients Forums: Supplementary
Health and Social Care Bill
7:15 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I hear what the Minister says. We are still concerned that the bodies should represent the communities that they serve, but the amendment was intended merely to probe the Government's thinking and would add nothing specific to the Bill. I am happy to reflect on the Minister's remarks, and I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Amendment made: No. 204, in page 10, line 24, at end insert—
`(3A) The regulations may include provision applying, or corresponding to, any provision of Part VA of the Local Government Act 1972 (access to meetings and documents), with or without modifications.'.—[Mr. Denham.]
