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

 

Let us look at the policies we have and the initiatives which have been taken. As a member of the Western Health Board, intermittently over many years, I remind the Minister of State that many policies developed at ground level were incorporated into departmental policy. That was a bottom-up approach, whereas we are now about to get a dose of top-down approach again. The roles have been reversed, with blame being directed at the health boards and their officials in a wrong and misguided manner. Fault cannot be apportioned just like that.
