Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).
The Department has relinquished all its responsibilities in those areas and handed them over to the new executive. There is a failure to recognise the need on the ground. This report and the health strategy are aspirational. There will be hype about these reports for a while, but then they will disappear. I am afraid things will not change. I do not have the confidence in the Minister to say that things must be done because he has not shown any courage to date.
