§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe establishment of the Health Education Advisory Committee for Wales springs from a new emphasis on health education and the report of a joint Welsh Office/NHS working party which indicated the need for improvements in the activities of the principal bodies concerned.
The Advisory Committee has the function of assisting in the co-ordination of health education activities, of advising providing agencies on health education matters, of assisting the work of the Health Education Council and of supporting the Welsh representative on the council. The work of the committee will be subject to review within three years.
