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

 

I must warn, however, against the demonisation of consultants. There is no doubt that we need consultants in an ordered and structured system. Ultimately, we depend on their professionalism, hence my warning against the demonisation of them. Clearly, they will also have difficulties in adapting to change, as will every group now inherent in the health service. Each group will have to change and adapt but they should welcome this development. In the end, a country depends greatly on how it is perceived, in terms of treating its citizens in a proper manner with regard to health care.
