Dear Mr Skene

Ref. FOI 17168 DHSSPS 73/08
DHSSPS CENTRAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Please see the attached covering the queries you had regarding Central
Advisory Committees established under Articles 24 and 25 of the Health &
Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972.

The Central Advisory Committees (along with the relevant Article of the
Order under which they were established) are as follows:

1. Laboratory Services Advisory Committee (Art. 25)
2. Clinical Imaging Services Advisory Committee (Art. 25)
3. Clinical Engineering and Medical Physics Services Advisory Committee
(Art. 25)
4. Central Medical Advisory Committee (Art. 24)
5. Advisory Committee of the Allied Health Professions (Art. 25)
6. Central Nursing Advisory Committee (Art. 24)
7. Central Dental Advisory Committee (Art. 24)
8. Central Pharmaceutical Advisory Committee (Art. 24)
9. Central Personal Social Services Advisory Committee (Art. 24)

Contact details are as follows:

1, 2 and 3 - [email address]
4, 5 and 6 - [email address]
7, 8 and 9 - [email address]

Their publication schemes are essentially all the same (with the title of
the Committee changed as appropriate) therefore I have attached only one
(the Central Dental Advisory Committee) here.

<<Central Dental Advisory Committee publication scheme.DOC>>
Details of the terms of reference, role, membership and remit, etc for
each Committee is attached below.

<<LABSAC Terms of Reference.DOC>> <<CISAC TOR.doc>> <<CEMPSAC
TOR.doc>> <<cmac.role and remit.doc>> <<ACAHP role and remit of
members doc 05.doc>> <<role of member- cnac.doc>> <<Central Dental
Advisory Committee Specification, Role of Members etc.DOC>> <<Central
Pharmaceutical Advisory Committee Specification Role of Members etc.DOC>>
<<Central Personal Social Services Advisory Committee Specification,

I hope this is helpful.
