FUTURE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NHS AND PERSONAL SOCIAL SERVICES

Early day motion 343A2, tabled 6 November 1997 by Tony Colman (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

leave out from 'by' to end and add 'a new commissioning function for local authorities, which would be responsible for both health care and social care, as local authorities are already democratically accountable to their local communities through direct elections; and, in calling for this, recognises the success of local authorities, despite very restricted budgets, in delivering care in the community to the people they represent.'.
