asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when last he received representations from the community health councils with regard to their continuing role in the National Health Service.

Dr. Vaughan

My right hon. Friend has received representations from a large number of community health councils, and from the Association of Community Health Councils for England and Wales, in the form of comments on our consultative paper " Patients First". In addition, I met representatives of the Association of Community Health Councils for England and Wales on 12 February and my right hon. Friend did so on 15 February last at its special general meeting called to consider "Patients First".
