Clause 25 - Regulatory bodies and the Council
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
5:15 pm
Mr Oliver Heald (North East Hertfordshire, Conservative)
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the health service commissioner's power to make special reports to both Houses of Parliament, on which the amendment is based, has worked well and is seen as almost the most powerful tool in bringing matters to
a head? Such a provision has the advantage of leaving Parliament's accountability intact, while still being a pretty strong measure.
