HC Deb 10 May 2000 vol 349 c432W
20. Mr. Bill O'Brien

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what plans she has to change the system for making appointments to public bodies; and if she will make a statement. [120457]

Mr. Stringer

I have no such plans at present. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health is considering changes to the NHS appointments process, in the light of the recent report of the Commissioner for Public Appointments.
