    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Article 43(1)(a) of the Constitution provides that every person has the right to the highest attainable standards of health, which includes the right to healthcare services; cognizant of the fact that health services and facilities, other than the national referral hospitals, are devolved to county governments; noting that devolution of health services was hastily done to fulfil the requirements of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution before sufficiently building capacities of counties; concerned that most devolved public health facilities are currently facing serious crisis; deeply concerned that majority of patients across the country continue to lose their lives due to lack of efficient healthcare delivery at county level; appreciating that Article 187 of the Constitution envisages that by way of agreement, services can be transferred from one level to another for effective performance, this House urges the national and county governments to urgently commence negotiations with a view to transferring Levels 4 and 5 health facilities to national Government, and also develop a plan for progressive devolution of health services to county governments. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
