HC Deb 27 January 1969 vol 776 c220W
56. Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to provide that a proportion of regional hospital boards should be elected by the population of the area concerned.

Mr. Crossman

This could not be done under present legislation. For the future, the method of constituting the bodies responsible for administering the health services is one of the questions I am considering in connection with comments on the Green Paper.
