Clause 6 - Local Health boards
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Don Touhig (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Welsh Office; Islwyn, Labour/Co-operative)
Let me explain a little further what the NHS directorate will do. The Assembly views the strengthened directorate as part of the new relationship that will be developed with the NHS. It will ensure that a concerted effort is made at national and local level to deliver local services that provide national standards of care. That is the primary point that I want to get across to members of the Committee.
We have had a useful debate. I have sought to answer hon. Members' questions properly, and I hope that they will support the clause.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 6, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
