Lords set to vote on NHS reforms
An amendment - prepared by Lord Owen and Lord Hennessy – could gain a majority in the house and either severely delay or damage the health reforms beyond repair.
Owen and Hennessy would like to see the third section of the legislation, which deals with ideas of competition in the NHS, sent to a select committee with the ability to call witnesses for further consideration.
In recent votes crossbenchers have shown little hesitation in voting against the government, even though the upper House is mindful that it should not get into the habit of denying the will of the directly elected lower House.
Peers are under pressure to give the bill more scrutiny. In an open letter, more than 250 child health experts warned that the NHS reforms would prompt the kind of failings in the health and social care services
