§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what guidelines he will issue in relation to the rights of members of health authority or trust boards with respect to the principles of open government and its applicability to the operations of those authorities and trusts.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesMy right hon. Friend wrote to health authorities and NHS trusts about corporate governance matters on 27 January and indicated that the Department of Health was undertaking further work on open government. It will be consulting on their recommendations in early summer and we propose to undertake parallel consultation in Wales.
