At the time of the establishment of the health boards, people feared they would lose the old intimate relationship they had with their county health authorities. It is fear that makes people not want change. If fear can be overcome and we can move on, we will get a better system. Some 30 years after the establishment of the health boards, the Opposition wants to hold on to the old structures.
