Mr. Flight
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many appointments to local health authorities and NHS trusts have been temporarily extended until the end of June. [39285]
Mr. Milburn
The appointment of 283 chairmen and non-executive members of health authorities came to an end on 31 March 1998, 3 had already indicated that they wished to stand down. The remaining 280 were asked to accept a further 3 month appointment until a substantive appointment could be made and 250 have now done so.
