I shall be brief. As I said on Second Reading, it is in essence a good Bill. The Liberal Democrats supported it on Second Reading and we shall support it tonight.

For most people, the test of the health service is primary care. We should allow practitioners to be as innovative as possible and in many ways the Bill does just that.

Like the hon. Member for York (Mr. Bayley), I believe that the Bill could be interpreted in a way that he, I and most people outside the House would not want—that behind a respectable frontage there could be profiteering enterprises in the health service. We must certainly close that loophole.

The Bill is good, but for those who work in the health service the test will be in the resources that are made available to implement its provisions. Although my hon. Friend and I welcome the Government's commitment—if they are re-elected, which seems unlikely—to provide the health service with inflation-linked additional resources every year, that will not keep pace with basic demands, let alone catch up with past requirements.

As I have said before, the Labour party's best intentions will come to nothing—if a Labour Government are elected—unless it commits significantly greater resources to the health service. Labour is now well and truly in third place in terms of promising resources for the health service. That should be an embarrassment to Labour Members as it is to many of their supporters. We are happy to go into the election on the basis of supporting primary care and the health service, but unlike the other parties, we put our money where our mouth is.
