That was the subject of my next question. Would NHS directors welcome that across the board?

I have one final question. If the bill progresses, is there a particular amendment or part that should be prioritised and worked on at this stage?

Do you mean that some of how we deliver that should be in the bill?

I have one last question, which is possibly for Julie Murray, who I see wants to come in anyway. I will ask my question and that will give you a chance to respond to it.
Some of the evidence that we have taken so far is about how much could be done now. Even if we progress the bill to the next stage, is there an urgency to some of the work that we should be doing?

I have a couple of questions on quite specific issues. I am interested in what has become known as Anne’s law. We have discussed with other witnesses whether we are able to implement that now or whether we need to wait for the bill. What are your views on how we might implement it?

Could you describe that in a few sentences? I know that it is complex, but what could we do now to ensure that that redress is provided?

That is lovely—thank you.

That is excellent. We are at stage 2 of the bill process and we have proposed amendments from the Government. Would any of the witnesses prioritise any of those amendments or suggest anything that is missing or that the committee should pick up on in its scrutiny process?

I have a couple of separate questions. The question of where we are with Anne’s law has been raised by other panels of witnesses. There is an indication from other groups that we could move forward with that quickly—and it is so important. What are your views on that?

Fiona Davies, do you have anything to add?
