Now that the report on hospital groups has been published and the establishment of hospital trusts is in a transition phase, when will we see the White Paper on universal health insurance so that we can have a discussion on how to fund our health services? The establishment of hospital trusts is a key component of Government policy, even though it is at variance with Labour Party policy. We would like to have a debate on it, so when will the White Paper be published?

The Labour Party has been advocating universal health insurance since 2001 when the first document on it was published.

That was social insurance.

Of course, Fianna Fáil did nothing about that either. The White Paper will be available for discussion when it is published.
