Schedule 5 - CHAI: supplementary
Health and Social Care
10:45 am
Mr David Lammy (Parliamentary Secretary, Department of Health; Tottenham, Labour)
I am keen to enable flexibility for CHAI in exercising those functions. I will think about that and return to the point later if I may. Flexibility is key, given that CHAI has that general duty. The
children's rights director is one mechanism by which it can exercise that flexibility. The fact that it has the wider duty of co-operation means that it will have to make steps in that direction.
