asked Her Majesty's Government:

When more detail will be provided of the proposals for a reinvigorated model of federated Community Health Councils in Wales announced by the Secretary of State for Wales in March; and what arrangements are to be made for consultation on the detail of these proposals. [HL2238]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Wales has decided to develop a new and reinvigorated model of Community Health Councils (CHCs) whose roots are close to local people and their communities.

My right honourable friend is arranging an early meeting with Welsh CHCs to discuss these issues further.
