The government's overhaul of the NHS in England mean it is "not clear who will be in charge in the event of a health emergency", MPs have warned.
From April, councils must set up health and wellbeing boards to oversee and co-ordinate services across the NHS, social care and public health sectors.
The Communities and Local Government Committee said this could result in "muddle" and demanded more "clarity".
The government says there are "clear lines of responsibility".
The boards will include representatives from clinical commissioning groups, hospitals and patient groups, as well as councillors.
