§ 40. Mr. Oramasked the Minister of Health, if he is aware that his proposal for establishing a National Health Service Executive Council for North-East London and Essex will mean that there will be only one council for a population of 2,184,900; and if he will so modify this proposal as to ensure that the advantages of a personal health service administered locally are not lost.
§ 41. Mr. Oramasked the Minister of Health, what representations he has received concerning his proposed reconstitution of National Health Service Executive Councils covering the area of East Ham and West Ham; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. BraineI agree that the population would be of the size suggested. My right hon. Friend's proposals for this part of Greater London are provisional, and have been both supported and criticised. He has promised to consider all representations.
