Briefing about orders made under section 70 of the Health Act 1956

A briefing is a type of inquiry a committee can undertake. Briefings give members the opportunity to inform themselves about topics of interest or concern in the committee’s subject area. A briefing may be a one-off information session, or substantial consideration of a matter over a longer period of time. Briefings can also be for discussions with visiting parliamentary delegations, or to decide whether to initiate a formal inquiry into a matter.
