Minister warns the challenges ahead cannot be underestimated
Financial restraints have impacted the pace at which health transformation can be delivered according to the health minister.
Lawrie Hooper has been reflecting on the progress made over the last 12 months in the Health and Care Transformation Programme annual report.
The document provides an update on the ongoing work to implement the recommendations of Sir Jonathan Michael's review into the Island's healthcare services.
Mr Hooper says progress over the last year has been 'steady', but the challenges ahead cannot be underestimated.
Highlighting the budgetary challenges facing the health service, the minister says progress in areas such as dentistry and GPs has been slower than hoped, but his department remains committed to the delivery of change.
