    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, we must appreciate that there are mental patients who suffer from mild depression that can walk into hospitals, sit with other patients, be treated and go away. However, there are those who will go to hospital and assault the doctor attending them. Therefore, we need to have a situation where all those particular extremes are dealt with. If we do not do so, we will not be doing the right thing has intended by this Bill. I encourage Sen. Sylvia Kasanga that when it comes to reconstituting the board, the theatre of health care in this country is in the counties. We should not overload all these boards with persons elected and appointed from the national Government when the real people upon which we will administer this law are in the counties. The board is top heavy with people from counties that can argue cases of more resources, personnel and so on and so forth. Madam Temporary Speaker, the alternative will be found in the Bill that Sen. Seneta is bringing that deals with the issue of cancer. However, you can draw a parallel by saying that if we want to have people of this country treated properly, a person in Loiyangalani, Embobut, Mt. Elgon and Vanga must attend and get the same healthcare that everybody else gets in Nairobi. How do we achieve this? By obligating the two levels of Government to cooperate and collaborate in resource sharing that is targeted towards people that suffer and require attention."
