§ [Nos. 21 and 221]

Clause 9, page 12, line 7, leave out "and" line 10, at end insert:
and
(d) no member of the Council is also a member of a Regional Health Authority or Area Health Authority.
§ LORD ABERDAREMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 21 and 22. This also is a matter of Community Health Councils. The effect of these Amendments is to place upon the Secretary of State a duty to make regulations to secure that no member of a Community Health Council is also a member of a Regional Health Authority or an Area Health Authority. This is an Opposition Amendment which was accepted in another place.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord A berdare.)
§ BARONESS WHITEMy Lords, again we appreciate the reasons for this Amendment and approve of them. Presumably there will be nothing to prevent, by invitation, members of either a Regional Health Authority or an Area Health 1767 Authority attending a meeting of a Community Health Council to explain the policy of their respective organisations.
§ LORD ABERDARENo, my Lords; this refers only to membership.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
