Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I very much want to read what the noble Baroness said but I still have a lingering doubt at the back of my mind about some areas. However admirable, and indeed they are admirable, the various organisations and the national voluntary bodies that she mentions, it could just be that the relationship between the local authority and one of these bodies was just a little too cosy and the relationship could be a little too easy. I ask the Minister to bear that point in mind.
