In January 2006 the four Councils
participated in a Joint Council Conference to
discuss the proposals outlined in the Review of
Public Administration in relation to the Councils.
The Minister proposed that the four Health Councils
be replaced by "one powerful single health
and social care users' body". This will be
called the Patient Client Council (PCC). The new
PCC will have a critical role in engaging with
patients, clients and the public in promoting
their health and well-being. |
