Healthcare unions have threatened to oppose the BBI report on grounds that it failed to address their recommendations. They have however noted that their recommendations were 'mutilated', saying what is contained in the released report is not what they wanted. The unions wanted a commission similar to TSC with the powers to hire, transfer and promote health workers but now claim the current document leaves powers with the governors. They have now threatened to move to court to stop the whole process until their recommendations are put into consideration. If paralysing services in this country will make them listen to us then that is what we shall do."
