Yes. I thank Members for their broad support, across a range of people, for the Government amendment. I think it's worth while pointing out that the reason why we think the current Government amendment complements is that it goes to the other duties that already exist, for example section 18, the duty on NHS bodies and local authorities to provide information that it reasonably requests; the duty in section 17 for NHS bodies and local authorities to promote the awareness of the activities of the citizen voice body; and, of course, the code of practice on requests for access that we've just discussed.

When taken together, these provisions provide a strong and coherent framework for co-operation. In contrast, amendment 46 is a broad and undefined duty on NHS bodies and local authorities, and it isn't clear how that would necessarily operate. For example, on matters of service change, there may be a difference of view about how that duty to co-operate would actually be undertaken, rather than the clearer duty to provide information and to respond to reasonable requests for information. I’d ask people, therefore, to support the Government amendment and I'd ask Members not to support amendment 46.
