If you believe in public involvement, then it seems infinitely preferable to have Local Healthwatch as a system of statutory bodies (created by and acting with the authority of Parliament), rather than as the playthings of Local Authorities (who they are supposed to monitor and hold accountable). If it goes in the latter direction, then wave goodbye to any independent representation of the public voice.
