NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on NHS Redress Bill (HL).
I am grateful to the Minister for listening to the representations made in Committee about the production of an annual report. However, if the report of a particular case is made available to a member of the public—we are all in favour of transparency and openness here—has he considered whether any clinicians named in the report might become more defensive and seek legal or other representation before they participated in what is supposed to be a relatively low-key, speedy and internal investigation? In those circumstances, is there not a danger of undermining the Government’s approach to independent fact finding?
