Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).
Proposals to reform the health service should focus on a decent standard of service, a high level of accessibility and equality for all. Those are the rocks on which a good health service should be founded. The national health strategy was launched two years ago amid massive inequality in the system. However, that is still the case in terms of caring for public and private patients. Waiting lists are as long as ever and the opportunity to reform the health service was not seized.
