It concludes that further evidence is needed to fully understand the impact that peer support has on the health service and individuals with long-term health conditions.

The second half was taken up with limiting the damage caused by the Bill, with less emphasis on competition and greater efforts to strengthen the regulation and quality of care and prioritise patient safety.
