Having learned that the two trusts created in the shake-up of PCTs serving Hertfordshire will be served by one management team and Chief Executive, Charles Walker alerts the Minister to his concerns that this will in-effect be just one PCT.

Mr. Charles Walker (Broxbourne) (Con): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. On 16 May, a Health Minister informed the House that Hertfordshire would be served by two primary care trusts, as part of the shake-up of PCTs. However, I fear that both I and the Minister have been misled by the East of England strategic health authority, which has written to me today to say that

"the two PCT Boards should be served by one management team and one Chief Executive.
