1.4 THE WAY FORWARD

The Health Sector Reform Secretariat has staged the first consultation on Health Sector Reform. This consultation formed part of the Health Sector initiative introduced by the Government of Saint Lucia and represented the first of many such activities to be conducted in the months ahead. Through such participatory exercises, stakeholders will be given an opportunity to articulate their views and present ideas on key Health Sector Reform issues. The collective thoughts and experience emanating from the consultative process will guide the Ministry of Health in its formulation of the policies of the White Paper.

One of the main objectives of the first consultation was to provide recommendations for the development of an action plan leading to the drafting of the white paper and it is envisaged that these recommendations will be used to guide the future consultative and planning process of health sector reform.
