Seanad debates

Health Services: Motion.
I have no doubt that reforming the Health Act 1970, which set up the health boards, and the raft of secondary legislation governing health agencies, will be complex. It must be done carefully and correctly. We cannot afford three years or more of analysis, consultation, drafting and debate. In this motion, we are urging decisiveness in policy implementation. I am confident that the Government will be decisive and that it wants to address the problems identified in the value for money audit, as well as those we encounter in our work and the issues that I expect to be highlighted in the imminent consultancy reports.
