I'm backing the amendment in this group, and I agree with Plaid Cymru that there has to be a register for NHS managers. I've said many times in this Chamber that we must ensure health service managers abide by the same obligations as clinical staff. Clinicians are covered by duties of care placed upon them by their royal colleges and the various professional bodies. Managers are an essential part of our modern NHS, and they can often play a role in ensuring the quality of care provided to patients.

And I regret that Helen Mary's proposals for a NHS management Bill was rejected by the Government. I welcome the fact that this amendment seeks to address the issues highlighted by Helen Mary's proposed legislation. Managers will play a vital role in securing both a duty of quality and of candour, and we must ensure they are held to the same high standards as clinical staff. I believe registration to be the way forward and therefore support amendments 72, tabled by Rhun, and hope colleagues will follow suit. Diolch yn fawr.
