Gosport Independent Panel: Publication of Report

Debate between Jeremy Hunt and Alex Burghart

Wednesday 20th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hunt]

Absolutely. One of the big lessons from this report is that we have to look at systemic issues as much as at the practice of an individual doctor or nurse.

[Alex Burghart (Brentwood and Ongar) (Con)]

I congratulate the Secretary of State and the right hon. Member for North Norfolk (Norman Lamb) for getting us to this point. I was deeply concerned to hear in the Secretary of State’s statement that Ministers had been given advice not to proceed with this independent panel. Is the Secretary of State convinced that Ministers are now receiving better advice?
