Alistair Burt: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I ask whether you have had any request from the Minister for Housing and Planning to make a statement—
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Order. I must deal with the Question that I am putting to the House. [Interruption.]
Mr. Woolas: Apologies, I could not hear what you said, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
Government amendment No. 32 relates to local involvement in health networks—LINKs—which were debated in full in Committee.
Alistair Burt: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The House has just voted on an amendment about energy efficiency that completely contradicts the position taken by the Minister for Housing and Planning yesterday, when she castigated my hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove) for his position on—
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Order. The hon. Gentleman is attempting to start again the debate that we have just completed. We must now move on to the next business.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Order. The matter is one for debate. It is not a matter for the Chair to deal with at this point.
Mr. Woolas: I apologise if I contributed to the confusion, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
Part 13 fits with the overarching themes of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill, in ensuring greater opportunities for local people to influence and shape services in their areas, and to hold local authorities and service providers more accountable to them. The inclusion of the provisions tells a coherent story of the Government’s efforts to promote public engagement. Part 13 has three components: first, the establishment of LINKs; secondly, the abolition of the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health and patients forums; and thirdly, the clarification and strengthening of requirements to consult patients and the public.
LINKs will enable far more people to be genuinely involved than is currently the case, ensuring that local communities have a stronger voice in the commissioning and provision of health and social care, and enabling them to influence key decisions about the services that they both use and pay for. LINKs take an important step beyond the existing powers of patients forums by enabling local people to have a greater say in social care as well as health services. They will build on the good work of the forums, making possible genuine involvement in a much wider range of ways than is currently available. They will ensure that local communities have a stronger voice in the process of commissioning health and social care and becoming involved in decisions about their local health and social care services.
