HC Deb 21 June 1976 vol 913 cc384-5W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received about the need to establish machinery for collaboration between the London health authorities as a whole and the London borough councils as a whole; and what has been his response.

Dr. Owen

The London Boroughs Association has recently written to my Department and to the secretaries of the four Thames regional health authorities suggesting the establishment of appropriate arrangements for resolving issues of common interest to health and local authorities in London as a whole. Their request is being urgently and sympathetically considered.
