HC Deb 01 July 1980 vol 987 c483W
30. Miss Boothroyd

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what role he sees for family practitioner committees in the future of the National Health Service.

Dr. Vaughan

As we made clear in "Patients First", family practitioner committees will continue with the same role as they have today. I shall, however, be studying suggestions to facilitate greater collaboration between the committees and health authorities.
