for the work involved (some of whom will no doubt be ex-voluntary hospital experts), and from people representing the university teaching centre and specialist and general medicine in the area. Principal officers of the Boards will be appointed by the Boards subject to the approval of the Minister. 9. Each Regional Board will be required to appoint, subject to the Minister's approval, a number of smaller local Hospital Management Committees. There will be one of these committees for each local group of hospitals which together form a natural hospital unit in a planned service. Sometimes a large hospital - e.g. a mental hospital - will have one of those committees to itself. The committees will be essentially local executive bodies, and their members will be drawn from the local authorities of the areas served by the hospitals after consultation with those local authorities, and from other local people selected by the Regional Boards (including, no doubt, people of local voluntary hospital experience), together with some professional members. 10. The Minister will determine with each Regional Board the best re-organisation of all available hospital and specialist resources in their region, and will supplement those resources as and where necessary, as soon as this can be done. Owning the hospitals, he will entrust their administration to the regional Boards. The Boards will be given as much financial independence as possible in day to day matters. The Boards will make all consultant and specialist appointments in the hospitals - regional advisory panels of experts being set up to advise on the professional suitability of candidates. 11. The day-to-day work of running the hospitals will then be entrusted by the Boards to the Local Management Committees. In mental hospitals they will take the place of the present Visiting Committees. Special Provision for Teaching Hospitals. 12. Special provision will be made in relation to hospitals providing the bases for the clinical teaching of medical students. They will be taken over by the Minister like other hospitals, and play their part in the national service; but they will be given the special status and measure of independence necessary to enable them to take their proper place as academic institutions standing in close association with the universities whose educational needs they must be organised to meet. /The
