Advisory Committee on NHS Drugs (Hansard, 26 May 1993)

HC Deb 26 May 1993 vol 225 cc576-7W 576W

§ Mr. Batiste
To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what is the legal status of the sub-committees of the Advisory Committee on NHS Drugs;
(2) what procedures were followed in making the appointments to the sub-committees of the Advisory Committee on NHS Drugs; and what were the criteria used to judge the suitability for membership of these committees.

§ Dr. Mawhinney
The sub-committees do not have a legal status which is separate from the main committee. The Advisory Committee on National Health Service Drugs decided which of its members would serve on sub-committees taking into account their professional expertise.
