NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

I am not sure that I do. I feel myself not bending towards that idea. In planning, one can go to the Government office and seek an appeal on the grounds of non-determination. In this instance—if the hon. Gentleman cares to join us in supporting the Bill as it stands—it seems to me that if there is an independent process, at least there is a reasonable chance of there not being a delay occasioned by the interests of the trust itself. At least if there is some delay, it will be as a consequence of the volume and complexity of the cases being dealt with. I hope that the independence of the system and the ability to appoint independent redress investigators will give greater flexibility, rather than having things determined simply by the resources of the NHS Litigation Authority, as the Government propose.
