Proceeding contribution from Helen Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care (Re-committed) Bill.

[2nd Allocated Day]

Many of us are concerned that we will not know properly what is going on in CCGs, because there is no requirement for them to be subject to the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 and to meet in public. They can decide whether to meet in public. How on earth is accountability to be maintained if those bodies can decide in private—[Hon. Members: ““No, they can't.] Yes, they can. They can decide in private how they will consider input from the health and well-being boards, and what they will do about it. Where is the line of public accountability?
