The connection of the people with the health service, through the political system and members of health boards, will disappear and will be replaced by the consumer panels the Minister has mentioned. I do not believe such panels will be sufficient because they are based on a weak model and will not be accountable. Will the consumer bodies have a statutory function? I presume there will be no such function, as I cannot envisage how it could be done. Whose responsibility will it be to decide who will serve on such panels? Will the members of panels be elected or nominated? If they are to be nominated, who will nominate them? Will people walking on the street be asked to participate? Will those who are well-known in the community be involved? I do not believe such a structure is sufficient.
