HC Deb 25 November 1997 vol 301 c520W
Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he invites Shropshire County Council to submit names for membership of NHS trust boards. [17807]

Mr. Milburn

A letter was sent to Shropshire County Council on 26 June inviting nominations for trust board vacancies in 1997. The council subsequently submitted eight nominations on 3 July. A further letter was sent to the council on 18 November inviting nominations for trust and health authority boards in 1998. We are now awaiting a reply.
