On the health aspect of the programme for Government, will the Taoiseach indicate when the health service plan will be published, if it has gone to Cabinet and if it has been approved by Cabinet? Will he indicate whether the Government or Minister is prepared to make a statement to the House and a presentation to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health, on home care packages, equipment needs of hospitals, mental health and the broader issue of retention and recruitment of healthcare staff, particularly consultants and nursing staff, which are in crisis in our health service?

That is an appropriate question.

I am afraid we did not get to the health service plan today because there were a lot of items on the Cabinet agenda but Cabinet will resume this afternoon. I anticipate that we will get to it then and publish it this week.
