The hon. Lady is completely wrong when she says that there is no obligation. There are clear duties in the Bill for health and well-being boards' views, and their preparation of joint strategies on health and well-being and joint strategic needs assessments, to be legally binding documents, in the sense that CCGs must have regard to them. They are not pieces of paper that can be just tossed aside and dismissed. They are very important documents in the emerging system.
