Clause 5 - Other applications
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
6:45 pm
Dr Andrew Murrison (Westbury, Conservative)
Which bodies does the Minister envisage would want to apply to him and the independent regulator to become public benefit corporations? The only organisations that will wish to put the necessary strictures on themselves are those that are already failing and require some sort of umbrella to survive.
It is difficult for any organisation to aspire to become a public benefit corporation. This is my question to the Minister: what sort of organisations does he think will be interested in applying for this status and under what circumstances?
