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

 

We have tough decisions to make, so let us make them and move on. We all long for a time when we have a health service which serves the needs of all our citizens, when we will not see the necessity for people to knock on our doors to get a service which should be theirs of right. We are not achieving it under the present system, so let us do whatever is necessary, change what needs to be changed and get on with it. I fully realise that we will step on toes as we do that, but better to do so than to have people dying years before their time or having to spend lengthy periods on hospital trolleys while they wait for some necessary treatment. They are already contributing enough money to have the best; let us give it to them.
