Adjournment Matters. - Health Service Reform.

 

The Minister has agreed to bring more detailed proposals to Government on the arrangements for political involvement. He is currently completing his consultations with existing health board members, and will reflect on the various viewpoints expressed before tabling more detailed proposals on this in the coming months. I will be happy to listen to the views of Members and ensure the Minister will take those into account before reaching final conclusions for submission to Government. I understand he is satisfied that the new arrangements we are now implementing, combined with the introduction of system-wide best practice governance and accountability systems, will ensure a stronger, more effective health system and an improved health service for patients and clients. I trust that has been helpful.
