There is a need to do some consultation. Right now, as a department and as senior management to the department, we feel that this is the way to go. We need to reform governance in order to better take control of the costs. However, there is a requirement for a consultation.
I don’t think anybody that is working in the regions with the authorities or MLAs representing various authorities would be too pleased if the department proceeded with reforming governance without doing proper consultation with the health and social services authorities. Health and social services authorities are usually made up of groups of people that come from all of the communities and represent the people and some of the community governments.
We don’t want to rush into this and then have everybody in opposition. We would like to sit down with the authorities and do a proper consultation, to visit them in their home communities and discuss the possibility of trying to reform the governance so that we are trying to take control over the costs. We want to do this. We don’t want to rush into this without consultation. Right now we are at that stage. We have had the initial discussions with some communities. We have had some consultation in Joint Leadership Council.
