§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the(a) existing and (b) proposed NHS (i) national directors posts, (ii) commissions, (iii) offices, (iv) types of trust, (v) types of authority, (vi) groups, (vii) boards, (viii) committees, (ix) forums, (x) councils and (ix) bodies. [16613]
§ Ms Blears[pursuant to her reply, 23 November 2001, c. 580w]: I regret that my previous reply contained an inadvertent error, in that the list of planned national health service bodies should not have included a tobacco regulatory authority, which we have no plans at the moment to establish. The full list should therefore read:
- National Bodies planned to be established
- Council for the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals
- Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health
- Health Professionals Council
- NHS Shared Services Programme
- Nursing and Midwifery Council
- Medical Education Standards Board.
