HC Deb 01 May 1981 vol 3 cc471-2W
Dr. Mawhinney

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set out the timetable for restructuring the National Health Service.

Dr. Vaughan

[pursuant to his reply, 16 April 1981, c. 248]: I also expect that chairmen and members of the new authorities will be announced by the end of September and will meet as "shadow" authorities in the autumn to appoint their future chief officers and to begin to consider their future management arrangements.
