HC Deb 15 July 1947 vol 440 c31W
89. Mr. J. L. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to constitute the Regional Hospital Boards in Scotland.

Mr. Westwood

I am now in consultation with the various bodies and organisations which have to be consulted before the members of the Regional Hospital Boards can be appointed. These consultations will take a little time, but I hope to be in a position to set up the boards not later than September. In the meantime, the House may like to know that the following have accepted by invitation to serve as chairmen of the boards:

Northern Region: Mr. Donald Macpherson.

North-Eastern Region: Councillor Mrs. May Baird.

Eastern Region: Treasurer William Hughes.

South-Eastern Region: Dr. J. R. Greenlees.

Western Region: Professor E. P. Cathcart.
