Council approves the development of a Welsh Language Scheme

The Council has accepted a recommendation of its devolution working group that the Society should develop a Welsh Language Scheme for adoption at a future Council meeting (PJ, 4 December, p834). The recommendation was contained in a report received at the December Council meeting.

Asked whether the devolved councils for Scotland and Wales would have a lay input, the President said that proposed structures for Scotland and Wales had been drawn up, although not yet discussed. The proposal Scottish and Welsh “boards” on which there were lay members. Each board would have an executive of four people, of whom one would be a lay member.

The Secretary and Registrar added that the devolution review group had two members who were not pharmacists, so there was already a lay input into the Society’s devolution review.
