Order, order.

Speaker 3
We are now sitting in public and the proceedings are being broadcast.  I'd like to remind members to switch all electronic devices to silent, and please feel free to take jackets off.  We start today with group 29 and amendment 60 to clause 43, with which we will debate amendment 61.  I call Dr. Danny Chambers to move amendment 60. 
15:58 - 16:02
Speaker 2
Yes, I move the amendment. 
16:02 - 16:41
Speaker 4
Thank you, Madam Chair.  So, speaking to amendment 60 and amendment 61.  These would introduce the primary care investment standard, requiring integrated care boards to increase spending on primary care services at least in line with the growth of their total programme healthcare funding.  And in previous sessions, we've discussed the importance of primary care, so I'll be very brief speaking to these, I know we've got a lot to get through today.  But the primary care investment standard is very similar to the mental health investment standard, and that would set a clear benchmark that would then hold the Secretary of State to.
