reached in a given time by the Joint Boards, it would be constantly available for discussion with them of plans under preparation and for advising how difficulties (or local differences of opinion) could best be resolved. The best local authorities will need little but financial assistance to ensure that they provide the best possible service, but we feel that the Ministry must have the power, and be ready to use it, to ensure that no Joint Boards or constituent authorities are backward or inefficient in carrying out their statutory duties. The voluntary hospitals should be given the opportunity of working with, and on, the Joint Boards in the planning and establishment of the new service. They should have their appropriate representation on the executive hospital committee of the Boards. There should be no hospitals committee parallel to and separate from the Board that could by independent representations to higher authorities delay or imperil the plans of the Board. The hospital plans should be made by the Joint Board (or if necessary by an approved sub-committee of the Board) which would contain the necessary voluntary hospital representation. When the plans were sent forward to the Minister of Health for his approval, any divergence of view, if still unresolved, could be indicated, and the Minister's decision accepted. We are assuming that a Central Health Service Council and local Health Service Councils, consisting of representatives of health workers, would be formed to advise the Minister of Health and the Joint Boards respectively.
