Clause 34
Health and Social Care Bill
10:15 am
Sandra Gidley (Shadow Minister, Health; Romsey, Liberal Democrat)
I have couple of general concerns about the clause. Subsection (1) states that copies of registers must be kept
“available at its offices for inspection at all reasonable times by any person”,
and there is a charge if anybody wants any information from the register. However, in these days of the internet, should not the registers, in the greater public interest, be more publicly available, so that people can access the information when they want to? Doing that would remove a level of bureaucracy. Will the Minister give some thought to that?
