Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Well, I do not want to misquote the hospital or be unfair. It has said that it welcomes the introduction of systems across the voluntary hospital sector, but that these hospitals' belief is that their structures, their company structures and various other things mean they would require certain legal agreements apart from the service agreement we have with them. I fundamentally do not believe that is the case. I believe that the provisions of the Health Act 2007 and all that flows from them are more than adequate for this. Our intention is to press ahead with the introduction of the IFMS into that sector.
