Health (Wales) Bill
10:30 am
Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley, Conservative)
I do not wish to detain the Committee long on this motion, which was keenly debated yesterday evening and received unanimous support.
I should like to add my and my party's delight that you are chairing the Committee, Mr. Griffiths. When you were a Minister in the Wales Office, improving the quality of the health service for all the people of Wales was at the forefront of your objectives. It was refreshing that you thought—and, sometimes, spoke—the unthinkable, when other colleagues were less frank. We are looking forward to two full days of debate on the Bill and I hope that our discussions will improve it.
