Care Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Dan Poulter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [Lords].

I am not going to give way. I am still addressing the hon. Lady’s point, and I am not saying anything controversial. If we had had better, more joined-up data that could have been used in a more transparent way beforehand, we might have been able to head off the events that we saw at Mid Staffs much earlier. This is about protecting patients and the public, and about using population-level data in an open and transparent way. Under the safeguards that we are introducing in the new clause, data will not be used for commercial insurance purposes. Let me give that reassurance.
