HC Deb 05 May 1981 vol 4 cc13-4W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to enable doctors, both working in the community and in hospitals at junior and consultant level, to have greater representation and influence on the workings and recommendations of both area health authorities and the health management units and to enable the medical profession to have more influence on the manner in which Health Service resources are spent and disposed.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The working party on medical professional advisory machinery considered the involvement of the medical profession in the stategic planning and operational management of the NHS in Wales and my right hon. Friend will be considering what steps to take in the light of all the consultations arising out of the working party's report.
