Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).
The Prospectus report recommends the abolition of the health boards, which has generated considerable interest. This is a flagship recommendation, as a result of which it is anticipated that everything will improve following the abolition of the health boards. I do not necessarily subscribe to that view. There will be a democratic input loss and, together with centralisation of administration rather than decentralisation, there will be a loss of local input.
