title: NHS scrutiny. Powers of observation.
abstract: Local authority scrutiny of the NHS, to come into effect in January next year, will bring health services into local politics more directly than ever before. The scrutiny committees will be able to call chief executives and directors to account and scrutinize service decisions. Health organisations should become involved in scrutiny arrangements now.
