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

 

It is surprising the number of similarities there are between the two reports before us. I want to give two quotations which I find significant. The first, from Prospectus report, is as follows: "Our findings indicate that extensive reforms are required that go beyond the structures in the health system." The second, from the Brennan report, states: "In our view, many of the problems are fundamentally structural. They relate to how the system is organised and managed." It is quite obvious that a solution lies, not in throwing more money at the health service, but in better management.
