Clause 3 - GENERAL DUTY OF REGULATOR
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
3:15 pm
Mr Chris Grayling (Epsom and Ewell, Conservative)
Surely the point about amendment No. 232 is that it is, in effect, a reminder to the regulator. We have heard much about the work that the regulator will need to do with trusts in shaping constitutions and in identifying the best way of selecting members across geographical areas. Surely, it must be worthwhile to have a perpetual reminder to the regulator that his prime job is to look after patients and not allow other factors to intervene to prevent that.
