    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion because this is a good Bill. Before I go to this, I had pressed the intervention button when the Member for Emurua Dikirr was speaking. He was saying that medical facilities in the county governments are under siege. That was not a good statement because for us to have facilities and the national Government to work with county governments, we have to support county governments in whatever they are doing. We asked for devolution but we are criticizing county governments in whatever they are doing. I am saying that the medical facilities which are under the national Government and those which are under county governments should work together. We should develop a system which coordinates both facilities. That will ensure that those who are treated under county governments and are taken to local referral hospitals find the same facilities. Where county governments are endeavouring to train medical people, the national Government should support. If we do not support medical facilities within county governments, those governments will not be motivated to give services to our people. There are no people who belong to the national Government or county governments in the medical sector. We should encourage all of them to work together so that medical facilities in this country do not have a big difference. This will ensure that the services rendered by a county government and the national Government are the same. With these remarks, I support this Motion. I support the Departmental Committee on Health for coming up with these recommendations."
