Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).

 

I come from a rural county and we will have to look to large urban areas for services. While I accept the concept, people are shouting about decentralisation, but health services will be centralised. The national hospitals office will be established with priority for reform in the hospitals area and a health information and quality authority will also be established and support services modernised. The thrust of the report is to maximise public funding, which should be welcomed.
