[Continuation from column 434]
Health and Social Care Bill
8:00 pm
Mr Simon Burns (West Chelmsford, Conservative)
I should clarify the matter for the Minister. I feel slightly at a loss, because presumably civil servants from the Department of Health—they may be present—have briefed him on it. I am working from memory, but I think that our White Paper gave two options, and we never decided which option to take for matching as consultation was under way when the general election intervened.
