§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health whether he will review his refusal to modify decisions taken by executive councils, since the composition of these bodies is predominantly lay.
§ Mr. BevanI am not sure to what the hon. Member is referring. Any person aggrieved by the decision of an executive council on a case investigated by a service committee has a right of appeal to me under Regulation 7 of the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations, 1948 (Statutory Instruments 1948 No. 507). The members of an executive council, excluding the chairman, are half professional and half lay.
