I wish to refer to the citizens' assembly. I initially baulked at the idea but I am now thinking it through. As we cannot change the system overnight, the witnesses are really talking about letting people decide what their priorities are in relation to universality. For example perhaps chiropody or GP care should become universal. Is the aim of this idea to let the people decide what the priorities are?
