HC Deb 06 December 1977 vol 940 cc653-4W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list those family practitioner committees which have not arranged to receive observers from community health councils to attend their meetings.

Mr. Moyle

I understand that the family practitioner committees listed below have not, to date, invited observers from community health councils to attend their meetings:

  • Avon
  • Bolton
  • Bromley
  • Bury
  • Cheshire
  • City and East London
  • Cleveland
  • Croydon
  • Cumbria
  • Derbyshire
  • Doncaster
  • Durham
  • Gateshead
  • Greenwich and Bexley
  • Hampshire
  • Hereford and Worcester
  • Kent
  • Kingston and Richmond
  • Kirklees
  • Lancashire
  • Lincolnshire
  • Liverpool
  • Manchester
  • Newcastle upon Tyne
  • Northamptonshire
  • North Tyneside
  • North Yorkshire
  • Nottinghamshire
  • Oldham
  • Oxfordshire
  • Rochdale
  • Rotherham
  • St. Helens and Knowsley
  • Salford
  • Sandwell
  • Sefton
  • Sheffield
  • South Tyneside
  • Staffordshire
  • Stockport
  • Suffolk
  • Sunderland
  • Surrey
  • Trafford
  • Warwickshire
  • Wigan
  • Wiltshire

Some of these family practitioner committees do, however, have meetings with representatives from community health councils to discuss points of common interest, and others have meetings open to the public at which community health council members could accordingly be present.
