Health Bill [HL]

May I ask a question of clarification? Having been brought up in the field of social care, where Bills and Acts sometimes contain a sentence that says that guidance may be issued from time to time, I saw the handbook as the guidance to the constitution. I would have found it helpful to have had that in the Bill, and to have had some wording following from the handbook that could be revised by the Secretary of State from time to time. That would give the provision more formality but would enable it to be changed, as any guidance can be changed, without unduly cumbersome consultation. I hope the Minister will think again about this.
