Clause 26 - Complaints about regulatory bodies
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
6:30 pm
Mr Oliver Heald (North East Hertfordshire, Conservative)
Amendment No. 239 would delete clause 26(2)(a). The clause deals with complaints about regulatory bodies and provides that the Secretary of State can make regulations about the council's investigation of the complaints that it receives about the way in which a regulatory body has exercised any of its functions. As the Minister said, it is about enabling the council to investigate maladministration, not a means of overturning the decisions of fitness to practise committees.
