Hodgson Urges Calm

Health Minister Pete Hodgson has today reassured National Party Health spokesman Tony Ryall that there will always be plenty of issues to debate in health.

The Minister's reassurance follows a statement from Mr Ryall earlier today.

"Tony Ryall should remain calm," Pete Hodgson said. "Health is a large and demanding portfolio and there will always be plenty of issues to debate,

"A good way for Mr Ryall to start constructive participation in the debate would be to develop an actual National Party health policy."
