Ensure a stronger voice for patients on local PCT board
We will ensure that there is a stronger voice for patients locally through directly elected individuals on the boards of their local primary care trust (PCT).

The remainder of the PCT’s board will be appointed by the relevant local authority or authorities, and the Chief Executive and principal officers will be appointed by the Secretary of State on the advice of the new independent NHS board. This will ensure the right balance between locally accountable individuals and technical expertise.
