Health Services (Gloucestershire)

I know something about the issue, which I have debated as a governor of the acute trust. I agreed with the clinical judgment, but the campaigners made a great deal of effort to find an acceptable compromise. That was discussed properly by the acute trust, but none of the proposals, including proposals from the trust itself, were discussed by the governors. Does the hon. Gentleman think that that is the right way to proceed? There is a great deal of unease about the role of foundation governors, and this does not help.
