Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Health.


Public Health

Does my noble friend recall in ““Dr Finlay’s Casebook”” the role of Dr Snoddie, the very independent but suitably qualified director of public health, for want of a more modern phrase? When my noble friend comes to look at the qualifications for directors of public health, will he ensure that they have the appropriate qualifications, so that we do not repeat what has happened elsewhere in the health service, with a generation of administrators who override the clinical judgments of those who are more medically qualified to take decisions?
