§ Mr. EnnalsNo. Pending the completion of the independent inquiry which is to be set up by the Surrey Area Health Authority into working relationships at Brookwood Hospital, a joint management-trade union committee has been established at the hospital to see that both unions and management have a full understanding of each other's position and to promote better working relationships and the best interests of patient care. On this understanding, normal working arrangements have been resumed.
