Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I have Amendment No. 210 in this group. I am grateful for the comments of my noble friend earlier on my Amendment No. 205 on further education. I recognise that schools are different, although the principle of involving schools in LAAs is important. I welcome the comments that she made about statutory guidance, and I hope that she will tell me that this will also apply to schools. The amendment proposes a mechanism by which schools would be involved. From the comments that my noble friend made, one thing that we need to remember is that partnership is a two-way street. We need to ensure that schools and further education are involved in the processes of developing LAAs as well as expected to implement them. I hope that my noble friend will respond by saying how the Government think that schools will be involved in the LAA process.
