Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I have listened very carefully to the Minister. I am disappointed that he cannot agree to put something more specific in the Bill about administrative costs. I am concerned about those getting out of control, when the NHS faces a very difficult set of financial challenges. However, I hear what he says. We may want to come back to this at a later stage, but in the mean time I withdraw the amendment. Amendment 240 withdrawn. Amendments 240A to 243A not moved. Clause 49 agreed. Clause 50 : Secretary of State's annual report Amendment 244 Clause 50 : Secretary of State's annual report Amendment 244 Moved by
