NHS Governance
- Question
- If he will bring forward proposals to involve more elected representatives in NHS governance structures at local and regional level.
- Answer
-
There are many ways in which elected representatives can be involved in the NHS locally. These include opportunities for elected representatives to seek membership of primary care trusts and strategic health authority boards as non-voting members or non-executive directors. There is joint working by elected representatives, local authorities and primary care trusts in local strategic partnerships and, of course, there is the use of overview and scrutiny powers by local government.
