HC Deb 02 May 1991 vol 190 c327W
20. Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the composition of the non-executive directors of the four area health and social services boards and the membership of the new health and social services councils.

Mr. Hanley

Each health and social services board includes six non-executive members plus a chairman. They were appointed from 1 April this year.

The names of the chairmen of the health and social services councils were announced on 4 April 1991. Nominations for membership of the councils have been invited from district councils, voluntary and community groups and, through public advertisement, from other interested groups and individuals. It is hoped to announce the names of the members shortly.
