Health reform Bill

Summary

Deputy Bannon asks when the Government’s health reform Bill will be introduced, defending its progress despite criticism of waiting lists and funding. The Minister says he will revert but has no specific date.

When Deputy Martin was Minister for Health and Children he set up the HSE and its 99 committees to dodge hard decisions.
