Health Bill [HL]

In view of how the debate is emerging, I seek further clarity. If the Minister is minded to negotiate agreed words with Monitor, the one thing that we, the CQC, as the quality regulator, would be concerned about, on our behalf and on behalf of the public, is that we have a commonly agreed format for the basic core of quality accounts across foundation trusts and non-foundation trusts. If we end up with a different format between the two because it was agreed by Monitor for the foundation trusts and by the Secretary of State for the non-foundation trusts, that would be incredibly confusing to the public.
