I still believe that the Health Services Commission is doable, but there is no political will and there is antagonism towards it. This Bill had too much input from non-medical people, including lawyers and very little input from serious health thinkers. That is why we are having that problem, where there is an excuse that you cannot have a Health Services Commission and yet, there is a body being formulated. The Council of Governors fears the establishment of a Health Services Commission because they have been mishandling health professionals. They fear that if there was a Health Services Commission, they will not mishandle them. That fear has permeated to everybody and they say that we cannot have a Health Services Commission in this Bill. There is a lot more to say to this, but suffice to say that, I support it. But serious amendments must be brought to this Bill."}
