A few weeks after entering Government, he tabled the Government's People's Healthcare Bill, which sought to implement a new state-mandated, multi-payer Health Insurance system, to act as a stepping stone during the implementation of a new Atlantis National Health and Care Service, which he saw a vital long term goal, to which he was dedicated. His first bill also saw proposals for The Healthy Beginnings Programme, to offer specialised treatment to children, both paediatric care, and long term hospice care. He also sought to close the gap between mental and physical health, enshrining in law the need for equal funding for them both, better accessibility for non-speakers of English and better pay for healthcare professionals. This bill, however, was defeated in the Senate.
