§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many hours of voluntary work are given by members of community health councils in Wales ; what is his assessment of the importance of such voluntary work ; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe number of hours contributed by members of community health councils is not recorded centrally, but the total is undoubtedly very substantial. I greatly value the time and effort given by all those who undertake voluntary work for the NHS.
