Clause 242
Health and Social Care Bill
1:00 pm
Paul Burstow (Minister of State (Care Services), Health; Sutton and Cheam, Liberal Democrat)
The key test is whether a provider is providing NHS services. If it is providing such services, it is covered by the terms of the clause. It does not matter whether it is private, not-for-profit, a charity or a public body, such as a foundation trust. I hope that that answers the question.
