The community health councils were far more public focussed trouble is they were too successful so government got rid.

Yes they do make recommendations maryh, and the public were very against chase farm closure from their consultation ! But the quango based IRC recommended closure and the government agreed meaning to me it was enforced.

But there you are such is life,the government of any hue shouts about local democracy but in practice does not really want it in action.
