I asked the previous Minister for Health a parliamentary question regarding the process of board appointments for the new hospital trusts established by the previous Government and continued by this Government. The response was that it would continue "pending the enactment of legislation" and the trust would operate on an administrative basis, with appointments made on an administrative basis. Is it the intention of Government to continue to progress legislation in this regard or will it continue with its current interim arrangement around the appointment of people to these hospital trusts?
