HC Deb 21 June 1990 vol 174 cc673-4W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what date the existing members of Northumberland health authority will cease to hold office and carry out the duties of their office; on what date new members of the authority will take office; and whether he will list both the retiring members and the new members who will serve on the authority.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Subject to parliamentary approval for the National Health Service and Community Care Bill, it is proposed that the terms of office of existing district health authority members will be brought to an end approximately 11 weeks after Royal Assent. New members of the reconstituted health authority will take office on the following day. Responsibility for appointing the current members of Northumberland health authority rests with Northern regional health authority and certain local authorities. The new non-executive members of Northumberland health authority would be appointed similarly by Northern regional health authority. Lists of district health authority members are not held centrally.

1986 and 1987 have both been published and copies are available in the library. The 1988 volume is expected to be published in1991. A similar table will also be published in Regional Trends 25, later this year.
