If any of you are like me, you would have read or even watched on TV the many things written or said about the Health and Social Care Bill. This is because after the long summer break, MPs were back in the House of Commons discussing further changes they wanted.
The Health and Social Care Bill has had its third reading in the House of Commons on the 6th and 7th September 2011. The Bill received its third reading by 316 votes to 251.
The Bill will now progress through to the House of Lords, where Members of the Lords are given the chance to discuss the main principles and objectives of the Bill. This is also another opportunity to highlight any concerns and areas where they think changes are required.
The second reading is scheduled to take place on October 4th 2011. It looks like this autumn is going to be busy!
