HC Deb 02 May 1966 vol 727 c67W
16. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that local authorities should be entitled to direct representation on local hospital management committees and house committees serving their area, he will take the necessary action to secure this.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. Persons are appointed to these bodies after consultation with local interests, primarily for the individual contribution they can make and not as representatives of particular sectional or group interests.
