Clause 10 - Register of NHS foundation trusts
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
10:30 am
Ms Hazel Blears (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (public health), Department of Health; Salford, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman has raised an important point. Clearly the situation has caused a great deal of distress to many people. My understanding is that the names of the directors and an address where they can be contacted, which would not necessarily be their home address, would be required for the register. That will meet the requirements of public accountability, but at the same time will provide a degree of protection.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 10, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
