HC Deb 22 January 1974 vol 867 c256W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects community health councils to be in operation.

Mr. Alison

As I explained to the House during the debate on the National Health Service on 11th December—[Vol. 866, c. 273–4]—our aim is still to establish community health councils by 1st April. Regional health authorities will do their best to achieve this objective.
