HC Deb 28 June 1983 vol 44 cc64-5W
27. Sir William van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals he has for the future of the community health councils.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

It is important to allow the new community health councils, many of which were established only in September last year, a period of stability in which to settle down with their matching district health authorities before considering any changes in their functions.
