Schedule 1 - English Health Authorities: change of name
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
6:15 pm
Mr Simon Burns (West Chelmsford, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for his explanation. I am not a lawyer, but it seems even to me that the amendments are heavily technical. I have one question. Why have they been tabled now rather than being included in the Bill when it was published? Is it simply because some events have moved on, creating a new need, or was there an error at the time, leaving them genuinely forgotten? Such things often happen in the drafting of legislation.
