Clause 16 - Accountable officers and their responsibilities as to controlled drugs
Health Bill
2:00 pm
Andrew Murrison (Shadow Minister, Health; Westbury, Conservative)
I am a little concerned about the Minister’s statement; if she is suggesting that small trusts may not have the expertise and therefore will have to appoint somebody officially, that would underscore my concern. The trick would surely be to find where that expertise exists in a neighbouring trust and to acquire those skills by buying them in. That would be better than appointing an individual to perform that function in a small trust where, presumably, the work load would be rather less.
