HC Deb 24 January 1977 vol 924 cc484-5W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take action through the Central Office of Information to ensure that the existence and functions of community health councils are known to the public generally, thus enabling individual councils to fulfil their functions.

Mr. Moyle

I welcome any publicity for the work of community health councils, but in general this is better achieved locally, although my Department is always ready to consider specific ways of helping with the facilities available to central Government; and this will no doubt be one of the matters on the agenda of the proposed national association of community health councils.
