HC Deb 25 June 1991 vol 193 cc439-40W
Mr. Jacques Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he will make a statement about the appointment of regional health authority chairmen from 1 August.

Mr. Waldegrave

The terms of office of two of the 14 regional health authority chairmen expire on 31 July 1991. I have made one new appointment and one reappointment. The new chairman of the South East Thames regional health authority is Mr. Peter Barker presently chairman of the Lewisham and North Southwark health authority. He has been appointed for three years and succeeds Sir Peter Baldwin who has served with distinction since 1983.

Sir Colin Walker, chairman of the East Anglian regional health authority, has accepted my invitation to serve for a further term of four years.
