In recent days, the European Commission published country-specific recommendations for each member state's national reform and stability programme. It would be appropriate given that we have recently exited the bailout and will soon be into budget preparation, for the House to discuss the recommendations which have been made. They include implementation of current budgets, correcting the excessive deficit in 2015, reforming elements of the health care sector to increase cost-effectiveness and many other significant recommendations. While we are not unique in that every other member state has received recommendations, it would be an appropriate, worthwhile and meaningful debate to have before the summer recess to ensure we can all feed into the budgetary process for the Minister.
