Senators slam MPs over calls on health docket

Senators have told off their National Assembly counterparts over demands that the health services docket revert back to the national government. The senators told MPs yesterday to keep off all devolved functions.

They expressed outrage over the recommendation by the assembly's Committee on Implementation that county governments cede their handling of the health docket to the national government, terming the calls as suspicious and meant to create a perception that devolution was not working.
