HC Deb 26 March 1986 vol 94 c521W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services for what reasons the services of Mr. Vernon Thornes as chairman of the Rotherham health authority are being terminated.

Mr. Hayhoe

[pursuant to his reply, 13 March 1986, c. 570]: It would not be proper for me to comment on individual appointments. In making such appointments, however, it is important to bring in some new people to provide fresh insights into the service. The decisions taken not to reappoint some chairmen in no way reflects on them personally or on the genuine and valuable service that they have given over the past four years.
