|
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN HEALTH BILL: Second Reading.
|
[Until 10.00 p.m.]
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House declines to give a second reading to the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill because it
fails to provide the freedom and powers to meet the needs of communities as claimed by the White Paper; would lead to further
centralisation because of the new power for the Secretary of State to direct councils to restructure; would lead to the costs
of restructuring falling on over-burdened council tax payers; fails to return powers on housing, planning, transport, learning
and skills from unelected regional bodies to local government; fails to impose an upper limit for the number of performance
targets used by central government to micro-manage local government; fails to give NHS patients and the public an independent
and investigative public services watchdog, or a national voice for patients; and fails to fulfil the Government’s pledge
in the White Paper ‘Our health, Our care, Our say’ to give local councillors a commissioning role in public health.
|
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 p.m.
