Further written evidence to be reported to the House
Health and Social Care Bill

Lady Justice Smith: May I suggest that I leave that issue for the GMC? It has written a memorandum, which you might not have had the chance to read yet. Representatives from the GMC are here—there they are—and they will be speaking next. It is a point that they feel strongly about. I confess that the lack of independence of Government had not jumped out and hit me between the eyes. It plainly has now and having read the memorandum, I am sympathetic to that point. I would rather just leave it at that.
