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

 

My advice to the Minister, Deputy Martin, the Department and the Government would be to adopt the Latin adage, carpe diem, seize the day. Reforms not quickly implemented lose their impetus. People will get tired of hearing about them. Once the momentum starts, it must be maintained. The proposal for nationwide seminars is a most effective way of meeting with all the interest groups. We must constantly inform the public as to what is happening to the health service and how the patient will benefit from what is being undertaken. That will be remarkable.
