It is a relief to hear that at least the National Health Council is moving towards the employment of doctors and nurses.
It will not mean full employment for health practitioners though, and will not adequately fill all the outstanding posts.
The question is whether this budget will actually be approved and thereafter will actually be allotted to those posts announced by the health minister.
