Seanad
‹ Order of Business Health service leadership
Summary
Senators criticise the Health Minister’s handling of the health service and describe him as commenting on, rather than managing, its problems.
I join colleagues regarding concerns about the health service. The HSE director general, Mr. Tony O'Brien, gave a comprehensive account of what is wrong with it and the Minister agreed with him. That is great. As Senator Jim Walsh has pointed out, he is the commentator in chief on the Government's behalf.
