Executive Order 06/26 - Bringing Back Hospital Chestshops​

Whereas, Section 29(1)(b) of the Constitution directs that Secretaries have the responsibility of "[c]reating and amending departmental policy in accordance with the President’s direction."
Whereas, a "President may issue and revoke Executive Orders to ensure good governance of the server" (Const. 24(5));
Whereas, until such a time that doctors are always available at every hour, patients who fall sick when a doctor is not online will be left to suffer ticking damage;
Whereas, it is the basic duty of the Department of Health to maintain and upkeep a national health system (c.f. ESA 12(1)(a));
Whereas, the Redmontian Health Service Act criminalizes the sale of and self-administration of "Class A" treatments, and holds that "all treatments shall be automatically assigned to class A" except where policy establishes otherwise;
Whereas, executive action must be taken to ensure that the most common illnesses are treatable by self-administration in order to ensure the good operation of the server during times of day when doctors are not online;

Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the Redmont Constitution, I, Multiman155, President of the Commonwealth of Redmont, do declare the following under this Executive Order:

---
