The noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, is right to ask that question. We have been using the words ““healthcare professionals”” pretty loosely from the beginning of Clause 1 to just a few amendments ago. We were told that ““healthcare professionals”” were to be employed Atos Origin, but they will not necessarily be GPs, nurses, physiotherapists and so on. I am not entirely sure that these amendments cover that point. I shall have to study carefully what the Minister had said.
Since this is the last amendment, I thank the Minister and the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, for being so tolerant with me and my noble friend, and our sometimes rather unusual way of discovering the Government’s intentions. I am extremely grateful.
