Part of the Boards charter was to develop a system of committees to cover all aspects of running a hospital and a range of committees is now in operation. I am currently considering the need to further expand the Committee's structure.

(Question No. 72)
Mr Humphries asked the Minister for Community Services and Health, upon notice, on 15 November 1989:
Has the Minister's attention been drawn to the proposal to elect three staff representatives, rather than having union appointees placed on the interim Health board as this would be a far more democratic and responsible method of ensuring staff representation; if so, does he support the proposal.
