We are comfortable with both these amendments, because they impose duties on the NHS and local authorities to co-operate with the new citizen voice body and are necessary to provide that body with the powers that it would need. We'd actually suggest that the Conservative amendment is the stronger of the two, because it also requires the NHS and local authorities to assist the citizen voice body in collecting independent feedback from people who are receiving or may receive health services or social services. Either way, we'll be supporting both.
