§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the changes proposed in monitoring by community health councils, once the National Health Service is reorganised into an internal market with providers and purchasers.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe role of community health councils will remain fundamentally unchanged. District health authorities will be expected to take careful account of the views of their resident population on the overall pattern of service which they plan to secure through their contracts. CHCs will play an important role in this.
