The Minister did not say that it would take three years or more before health boards to be wound down, but that comment has been made. That is only one small aspect of a huge range of changes in the health service. The health boards must be commended for what they have done over the past 32 years. I never sat on a health board, nor did I wish to do so. I never sought it, asked for it nor got it. Throughout my political life, however, I observed the operation of health boards and what they have achieved. It may be forgotten that I previously served as Minister for Health. I was in the Department for almost three months, so I know quite a bit about health boards as I met them extensively during that period. It was a short but fruitful period and an enjoyable one.
