Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 4)

Non-foundation trusts were managed by the Department, and the Department's policy, during our time in government, was to have a tight cap—[Interruption]. There was a tight cap on the income that trusts could earn, so the very fact of foundation trusts' creation gave rise to the question of whether there should be a cap. The Minister is effectively abolishing that cap with his Bill.
