Schedule 1 - Schedule 7a to be inserted in the
Health (Wales) Bill
12:30 pm
Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley, Conservative)
The Minister says that they do not need to be in the Bill. Why, then, do we need:
''It is the duty of a Council to represent the interests in the health service of the public in its district''
in paragraph 1 of new schedule 7A? He agreed when I drew his attention to it earlier because it was important. We take it for granted; that is what they do now. We could say, ''That is what they do now, so why put it in the Bill?'' It is important for it to be in the Bill because it reminds everybody of the obligation of each CHC.
