A member of Slaintecare says he’s disappointed but not surprised a new advisory group is going to be appointed.
It’s after three members of the implementation advisory council quit in recent weeks.
The Health Minister said recent developments had cast a shadow over the plan and he’s planning to implement a new advisory group.
Current member Liam Doran, who is a former General Secretary of the INMO, is critical of the decision.
"I'm disappointed, but I'm not necessarily surprised in the light of what has transpired in the last two or three weeks with resignations, and the council being critical of the pace of progress on fundamental issues.
"I"m disappointed, because I think the council has a role to play in moving the process forward.
"But I'm not necessarily surprised, became one has sensed that the council has not liked the criticism."
