Mr. John Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the level of funding of community health councils in England and on the role of his Department in ensuring adequate levels of funding for individual community health councils.

Mr. Dorrell

The expenses of community health councils are met by and form part of the total expenditure of the health authorities concerned. It is for health authorities to decide on the level of funding that they provide to community health councils.
