Thankfully in order to keep this debate going our colleagues in Government were able to support the motion. We were able to achieve what we set out to achieve by obtaining a commitment from the Minister that will bring about the necessary management changes and accountability changes required to bring forward our health service. I hope that next time a serious Private Members' motion is tabled on such a serious issue as health, we will have at least one positive contribution from the Opposition containing one suggestion that we might be able to take on board.
