Gavin Mooney rejects the Federal Health Minister’s concern that citizens’ juries subcontract out political decision-making processes. Mooney clarifies that citizens’ juries recommend the principles that should underpin health services. Others, such as the Minister, still make the decisions. This assists rather than undermines political decision making. Mooney calls for $1 million to fund 20 juries around the country which would then be followed by a national summit on the results.
