    "content": "The other thing which we need as Parliament in the next session, is to move the health workers to a health commission. We have issues with health workers who are under county governments. We need to retake the burden of health workers. What is happening at the moment is that many counties cannot handle health workers. There are normally many strikes. So, we need to do something like what the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is. It is the same way we need to do a Health Service Commission which will take account of all needs of health workers. If we do not do that, we are falling apart. We need even to think of hospitals. If they are Level 5 and above, they need to go back to the national Government. That is how we can make services much better. It is not that they are not good. Some hospitals are falling apart. The services offered are mediocre. We cannot do with that. There are many dispensaries in our counties which do not have hospitals and personnel. We need personnel in those dispensaries. There is no point in establishing a dispensary if personnel and medicines are not there. I join my colleagues in congratulating Hon. Mabongah. With those few points, we need to make sure we always improve. We may always put a Bill and a law in place but, implementation is the main issue. We need to get implementation up to notch so that people who are retaining bodies do not continue. They will not get anything out of the body. By retaining it they are adding mortuary expenses. We need to see how we can do it. Admissions into hospitals should be free and not chargeable before entry. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate."
