Our local CHC (community health council) has written to us demanding
that they sit at PCG meetings with speaker rights. After all, they
attend all formal and informal HA meetings at present. And if the PCGs
progress up the levels, organisations outside the PCG will be
marginalised.
I wonder if other PCGs have people other that the DOH has constitued to
attend PCG meetings. There is obviously a lot of "primary care staff"
e.g. practice managers, midwives, Macmillan nurses, voluntary
organisations etc. who feel aggreievd that they are not represented and
are trying to muscle into the seat of power in PCGs.
