Clause 8 - Overview and Scrutiny Committees: Exempt Information
Health and Social Care Bill
5:15 pm

Dr Peter Brand (Isle of Wight, Liberal Democrat)
I am concerned about what information the scrutiny committee may have and what sort of paperwork there may be. A very relevant question was asked this morning by the hon. Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) in relation to clause 15 on who would become the custodian of files and information held by community health councils. The Minister did not answer at the time. Perhaps he could now let us know where that information will go? It will obviously include a mix of personal and clinical information as well as more strategic information.
