Clause 43 - Information and advice
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
11:00 am
Mr David Lammy (Parliamentary Secretary, Department of Health; Tottenham, Labour)
What I said was that the duty of quality is pervasive. It is set out in clause 49(2)(b), and that duty of quality is implicit. The right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire pointed out, rightly, that the proposal is specific to clauses 50 to 54. My advice is that the duty is implicit and pertains to the functions of CHAI. However, I will seek further advice on that technical point and come back to the Committee in due course.
