HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 cc433-4W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the consumer protection bodies he consults when he is seeking the opinion of consumers on matters covered by his Department.

Sir K. Joseph

I consult groups representative of consumers, patients or clients of particular services as appropriate.

The hon. Member will know that in the reorganised National Health Service there will be a community health council in each district to represent the views of the local consumer.
