Clause 14
Health and Social Care Bill
6:15 pm
Sandra Gidley (Shadow Minister, Health; Romsey, Liberal Democrat)
It is not clear from the amendment whether the “documented reasonable grounds” would be publicly available in the first instance. I have a concern that if all is proved well, something will have been put in the public domain that could cast an adverse light on a body. There are vexatious complainants who have a habit of making complaints about various bodies. I wonder how we balance protecting the innocent on both sides of the equation when publishing information.
