Clause 2 - Wales Centre for Health
Health (Wales) Bill
5:30 pm
Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister. I know how much more difficult it is for any one party to have overall control of the Welsh Assembly. Even if a party wished to go down that route, I hope that there would always be an element of independence that would resist such a move. We want the Wales Centre for Health to be manned by people who are appointed for their expertise and experience, as it will be dealing with many wide-ranging areas of health promotion in Wales. However, I am sure that he will not blame us if we look for worst-case scenarios and ways of ensuring that the Bill is as watertight as we can make it. The Minister has given us certain assurances. The suggestions that we have made may be reconsidered in the other place, but I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
