Cabinet defiant on reforms

IT'S time to bite a few bullets. The Cabinet's top quartet were in defiant form yesterday as they promised delivery on the most radical reform of the health service in 30 years.

Backed up by two of the plethora of reports conducted into the current health system, the Government pledged to make tough decisions and put their credibility on the line.

The Brennan and Prospectus reports provide a damning indictment of management in the entire service but also the outdated system with a culture of a complete lack of financial accountability at its core.
