§ Mr. McWilliamTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the chairmen of regional and district health authorities in England and Wales by authority, indicating (i) their age if over 60 years, (ii) their political affiliation if known and (iii) whether or not they are resident in the area covered by the health authority.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyHealth authority chairmen's appointments in England as at 1 April 1990 are listed in the tables which have been placed in the Library. Eight regional chairmen and 88 district chairmen are aged over 60 years. Dates of birth of individual chairmen are held in confidence. We do not seek details of their political affiliations. Chairmen who are resident within the district they serve are marked with an "R" in the tables. Those who do not live within their region or district usually have some other connection with it, for example they work or have a second home there.
