HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1789

[No. 89.] Schedule 1, page 53, line 13, after "or" insert "in the area of the Area Health Authority or".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, the effect of this Amendment is to make it plain that the Regional Health Authority may consult not only regional or national representative bodies, but also such bodies as are representative of the profession in the area. We think it desirable that the Regional Health Authority should be able to consult local representative professional bodies when appointing members to Area Health Authorities. I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Aberdare.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
