For example, the persons specified to have due regard to the covenant include a health body. I know the amendment is seeking to put specifics in primary legislation, but I would argue that the Government are trying to do that through Clause 2, which extends the covenant to certain national bodies and to considerable other matters. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Harlech, and the noble Baronesses, Lady Smith and Lady Fraser, that the specified persons include a health body and the specified matters, which are listed, include health and social care.
