Health & Social Services Councils
Programme of Work April 2004 - 2007
Introduction
The Health and Social Services Councils were established
to represent the interests of users of health and social services
in Northern Ireland. Four Councils were set up in 1991 on a regional
format with Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western offices.
Purpose
The Councils aim is to make public services more
responsive to users’ and carers’ needs and to give the
public an opportunity to influence decisions that are made on their
behalf. Health and Social Services Councils have the following legal
rights:
| To be consulted by the Health and Social Services
Board on any major developments or changes in services. |
| To have formal meetings with Health and Social
Services Boards. |
| To enter and inspect health and social services
facilities. |
| To receive any information which it needs
to do its job. |
Council members are all local
people who have an interest in health and social services issues.
Members are drawn from city, district and borough councils, voluntary
and community organisations and other interested groups. The Health
and Social Services Councils have 102 members in total (24 Northern/
24 Southern/ 30 Eastern / 24 Western). Health & Social Service
Council members are all appointed with the approval of the Minister
responsible for the Department of Health, Social Services and Public
Safety. Health and Social Service Council members are not paid and
the four councils are supported by a small number of staff.
