Patient And Public Involvement In The Nhs

EDM number 1407 in 2006-07, proposed by Rudi Vis on 02/05/2007.

That this House welcomes the Third Report of the House of Commons Health Select Committee, on Patient and Public Involvement in the NHS, and supports its recommendation that local involvement networks should have the same rights of entry to places where NHS care is provided as patient and public involvement forums have at present; believes that local involvement networks should not have to write to the regulator and wait for a reply before being able to visit premises and that the regulator should not have the ability to request a local involvement network to postpone its intended visit; and calls on the Government to remove proposed restrictions on service providers' duties to allow entry by local involvement networks from the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
