Moved by Baroness Thornton

9: Clause 14, page 12, leave out lines 3 to 6 and insert-“(4) Each integrated care board must set out in its constitution-(a) the arrangements for managing conflicts and potential conflicts of interest in such a way as to ensure that they do not, and do not appear to, affect the integrity of the board’s decision-making processes,(b) the process by which any appointment of a member to the integrated care board or any appointment to any committee or sub-committee of the integrated care board that has a commissioning function must be made so as to avoid the appointment of anyone who would be perceived to have a conflict or potential conflict of interest, and(c) the arrangements for ensuring that no member of any committee or sub-committee of the integrated care board who has a conflict or potential conflict of interest obtains access to information that might be perceived to favour the interest or potential interest.”Member’s explanatory statementThis intends to ensure conflict of interest rules that apply to an ICB also apply to commissioning sub-committees.

Ayes 175, Noes 161.
