Schedule 3 - Minor and Consequential Amendments
Health (Wales) Bill
9:30 am
Mr Don Touhig (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Welsh Office; Islwyn, Labour/Co-operative)
The amendments would ensure that the WCH is subject to all the normal rules that apply to public bodies, such as public admission to meetings, disqualification of members serving as MPs, freedom of information and so forth. Following amendments to the 1977 Act, CHCs will be subject to existing rules on access to and freedom of information. That is the
whole purpose of the schedule and I hope that that deals with the hon. Gentleman's point.
