Support for Health Minister
Senator Mullins supports the Health Minister, citing the difficult finances and inherited HSE problems, but is challenged over the Government’s record.
I support Senator Conway's support for the Minister for Health. It is incumbent on all of us to support him.

We all want to see a world-class health service with all our citizens having the best possible health facilities available to them. All Members know well, however, the mess the Minister inherited two and a half years ago. We know the monolith that was the Health Service Executive.
We know the budgetary situation he faced. He is a reforming Minister who is doing a good job and we need to be supportive of him at this difficult time. Some of the commentary in the media is absolutely over the top.

Some of it is coming from his fellow Cabinet Ministers.
